The Zombie Life

Have you ever driven from point A to point B, and upon arrival cock your head slightly to one side and ask yourself, how did I get here? I mean you remember starting out, maybe some points along the way, but at some time you tuned out and a while later you were at your destination with no clue how you got there. You were on automatic pilot, not fully conscious or aware of your surroundings, Zombie like. Yes, you are not alone, it happens to most of us. Unfortunately, for the vast majority, it's not just the random drive that is like that, but life itself.

How do you feel about people stealing from you? Well, if you are living a Zombie life, then someone is stealing from you. You are! Your Zombie life is robing you of your most precious possession, meaningful time. There is a difference between time and meaningful time, awareness. The Zombie life snatches the awareness from you. You are not in tune with your friends and loved ones? You may interact, but are truly there? Are you noticing their subtle signals that may be speaking louder than their words? Are you fully aware of your own feelings or have you become numb to them. Living the Zombie life makes it impossible for you to be aware of the opportunities presented to you daily, they just pass you by like a slight breeze. The Zombie life uses forces like the TV, and your personal electronics to suck the marrow of life from you, and you just march a long to it's numbing effects as you forget to live.

The good new is that you can kill the Zombie through the most powerful of all weapons, choice. Unplug from the noise, put down the tablet, have a conversation instead of texting, take a walk, talk to your kids, be present in your own LIFE! As complicated as this may sound, it is simply a CHOICE!
