For many, the aim through the day is to complete the tasks set for the day. This comes with the assumption that when we complete these tasks, we would free-up some space (or time) for ourselves. But, is freeing up space the game?
We may be working in an organisation, for a corporate or a conglomerate or self employed. When we look at the reason for our working, in any of the cases freeing up ourselves is not our intent neither our goal. Our intent of work is the motivating factor, the cause that we're striding for. Then why the urge to free-up the space?
The idea is that if we free-up the space and clear all our tasks at hand, we'll be free, we'll be at ease, relaxed. But one must realise that the access to this freeness is actually right now. One doesn't have to complete the set of tasks. One may argue that my boss has assigned me the tasks, and if I don't complete those then my job is at stake. And that's true! But what does that have to do with freeness?
If we are able to experience the freeness of the right now, and work from there - work doesn't seem work anymore. It just becomes a part, an extension of our expression. We're able to be free and work from there.
Saying (or writing) about it will be futile, as this is experiential. But, I'm writing this anyway to try and open up or rather give a glimpse of this new way of looking. I can only attempt so much. One has to find for themselves through their experiential. One has to consciously look that the "freeing up" of space or time is a notion, a myth. In reality, we're both free and trapped at the same time, and it is only by choosing what we wish to experience, we can become free. One simply has to open their eyes to see it!
