Accepting your life fully will allow you to feel accompanied every day. Your surrender opens a door to chaos… and through it enters a wondrous creature: Existence.
Accepting impermanence with your heart
The unexpected keeps arriving. Learning to live within this impermanence—fully embracing it—is one of the most profound lessons I’m beginning to assimilate. And no, I’m not speaking of an intellectual acceptance, but of something much deeper: the felt sense of surrendering to life as it unfolds. This is not resignation. This is loving acceptance.
The universe is always filling spaces
You already know that the universe never stops moving. It keeps creating events, filling every space it finds. Every task you complete or conflict you resolve releases a “space” that the Universe will joyfully rush to fill.
Learning by playing
I want to share how I’m learning to navigate this—and invite you to approach it like a game. That might make it easier to let this new awareness settle into your heart. True acceptance isn’t simple; it might need to enter you through different doors. This is just one of them.
God and his colossal creature
I’ve imagined that God has a wildly energetic creature—overflowing with vitality and creativity—that brings life and change wherever it moves. If you’ve ever had a pet, you’ll know the feeling. The pet lives in the present and will make you live it too.
Now I’m learning to befriend this creature of colossal energy and pure creativity that lives around me. I know that God is the absolute owner of this creature, and therefore I’m open to learning as much as possible from it.
Existence knows you better than anyone
This creature is called Existence. Every day it wakes up before me. She knows what time my alarm rings and what I’ll do from that moment on as long as I’m home. She notices what time I have breakfast, the gestures I make when I’m in a good mood, and the expressions I make when I’m nervous. Existence will greet me like every day, full of energy and good humor. Existence loves me. No matter what I do, she won’t judge me.
It won’t matter if I come home early or late. She’ll be there to love me and greet me as if I’d never been away.
But this doesn’t end there.
Existence does not stay at home
Existence won’t stay at home. Existence has the power to follow me wherever I go. Sometimes I’ll be aware of it, other times I won’t. Sometimes I’ll see her at my workplace or at work meetings, looking at me and enjoying the simple fact of being there.
And if I don’t see her, I’ll often detect that she’s been there by the trail of synchronicities she’s left in her wake.
She is there through thick and thin
When I have free time, and especially when I’m having a joyful experience, Existence will be there, enjoying the moment, being one more. At some point during that joyful experience, Existence will steal the spotlight in my mind, and I’ll realize how lucky I am to have her there with me.
But there are also bad times. And in the bad times of my life, Existence will also be there. I know that Existence is not to blame for anything. Perhaps she can’t even understand why I’m so upset about an event. But even so, she will be there to accompany me and support me if I’m willing to accept her.
Walk with her, step by step
So when you go for a walk, imagine that Existence walks with you. With every step, she’s at your side. Sometimes she will be three steps ahead, and other times you will have to wait for her because she stopped to discover something.
But you know that, no matter what you do, Existence won’t leave you. It’s you who has a problem with time, with waiting, or with anticipation. Existence can come and go as often as she wants, always adapting to your rhythm, and she will never stop living in the present. You’ll never think she didn’t notice something. In reality, you’ll know that it was you who didn’t notice things.
The relationship is two-way
And here’s something important: your relationship with Existence is not one-sided. Never let your role as a witness prevent you from talking to her. It doesn’t matter if you think she doesn’t understand you. Do it, because Existence knows every nuance of your voice. And most importantly, Existence responds to love and attention.
At this point, you can also plan a day with Existence. If you fully accept her, perhaps you can propose and start something and let Existence finish it.
Learn to love her
Now I ask you to feel all this. To imagine and live it for a few days. To walk with Existence. And you’ll begin to realize something. You won’t just find yourself thinking about this incredible creature, but you’ll understand what it means to love her.
When you start to grow fond of her, it starts to feel natural that she goes with you wherever you go. That she shakes up your comfort zone, gets into your space, and that you can tell when she’s been somewhere before you.
How to limit the unlimited?
Could you ever grow tired of living with Existence? Hmm, what does that really mean? That Existence should respect your personal space?
If you’re considering this request fair, it’s because you’re thinking of Existence as a creature similar to you. But remember: Existence holds more energy than you could imagine, and more vitality than you could contain in a thousand lifetimes. Existence understands life infinitely better than you do and is linked to Creation itself. How could you even imagine that you can limit or diminish her actions?
You are lucky
Just trying to minimally contain a magnificent creature —one made of love, one who leaves miracles and synchronicities in her wake— should make you feel blessed to be able to share your moments with her.
In reality, being able to spend so much time with her and being able to witness her fabulous life daily should make you feel blessed to be a part of it.
The transformative impact of Existence
When you assimilate all this, you begin to learn from her as well. Every display of energy and joy from Existence is a lesson in how you could live your life.
Existence is happier than you are, or at least, more times a day. She doesn’t carry yesterday’s burdens into today. And she knows how to forgive instantly, understanding forgiveness as returning to love.
Enjoy your Faithful Companion
Today, I invite you to realize that in your life there is something called Existence that will fill all your empty spaces with unexpected twists and turns, with joy, with sadness, and with potential.
Everything will happen because her nature is to give and transform. It’s impossible for her not to do it. Its very existence transforms everything she touches, and of course, she will also change your routine and your plans.
Once, I asked a friend if having a pet was worth it. He replied, “Oh yes, definitely. There will be bad moments, of course, but I assure you, they will be far fewer than the good ones.”
It’s so good to have you in my life, Existence. Welcome.
