Awareness. That is what it means to me to have your “eyes wide open.” To not be blinded by the darkness that is within all of us. To have your eyes wide open does not mean that you do not have boundaries. It does not mean that you do not take care of yourself. It means that you are aware of what is going on within you as well as outside of you. That you make decisions in your life based on as much information as you can gather about a situation. Eyes wide open means to slow things down in your life. To be able to slow things down so you have time to process all the information that having your eyes wide open brings to you. And this is called being aware. Because if one is not aware of things in his/her life both inside and outside of self, then how to make a choice? Because unless you are aware you will not feel you have a choice. Awareness is the power of choice. And this is why having your “eyes wide open” is so important in your life.
Namaste, my friends.
