We are so driven most of the time to do things that we often forget to just be still and observe. We move so fast that our life becomes a blur and we don’t really see what we are doing.

The source of all our success and knowledge of who we are and what we should be doing comes from our own consciousness. When we are not mindful of what we are doing we lose the sense of who we are and are no better than a machine.

We were born to be conscious of our life and deepen our awareness of what it means to be alive. We were not born to just be here to do something in this world or achieve something for the world or people around us. We were born to discover new potential and new knowledge of how to develop abilities that we never had before.

Taking time to slow down and just observe tells us a lot about who we are and what we need to do to open our latent abilities and powers. When we just observe, the universe gives us the information and awareness that we need to take our next step in evolution, i.e. to develop our consciousness to the next level of experience.

Learning how to slow down and observe allows our higher consciousness to take in new perceptions and new information that will guide us step by step to a new life in this world. We cannot find this new life by blindly repeating our routines without being mindfully conscious of the universe around us.

Every minute the universe is giving us information that can help us to grow. Take time to observe and you will find your life in a constant process of evolution. As we evolve and grow we become more interested in our life and never feel bored. Boredom comes from ignoring the messages and gifts from the universe. Observation opens our awareness to new possibilities and propels our life to Enlightenment.

Enlightenment is not a far away achievement. It is the natural result of becoming more mindful through deeper insight and observation. When we open our awareness to more observing and less blind performance, we eventually become mindful of the flow of the universe through us all the time. This is the ultimate experience that we are all looking for from the first moment that we were born human. Enlightenment is just the power to observe clearly and completely all the time.
