Today I had to be in Shibuya for a meeting in the morning.
I left my home at almost exactly the same time, same route, to the same station I used to work at.
It had been three months since I left work.
I felt good, despite the crowded train overloaded with people. I felt light, and the salaryman's jacket in my face didn't bother me much, because this was not going to be the dreadful EVERYDAY experience for me.
Instead, I felt satisfaction in being a 'pro',knowing how to be on, get off the train, and knowing the convenient exit out.
Shibuya at this time, NEVER EVER felt this refreshing!
The crossing looked like a different place.
And I felt all the weight I used to burden on my shoulders all disappear.
Before work in those days I used to DREAM about just 'skipping' work that day and sit at a starbucks while everyone rushed with miserable looks to work.
(Don't get me wrong, I was a part of that too!)
But now, I'm, HERE.
At Starbucks on fire street. At 8:45am. Enjoying my latte.Feeling happiness. Finding peace in my heart.
So, afterall, it wasn't the location I disliked, it's all about how you percieve it.
IT'S ALL IN THE MIND:)
Practice, experience, learn, study, challenge, enjoy, love, and all will follow.
Om Shanti.
