WALKING, AN EXISTENTIAL METAPHOR. PART 1 OF 4.

One way to better appreciate and realize what walking in our existence can represent is to make a metaphorical analogy of our procedures and attitudes during any walk we develop.

Getting to walk is to move forward. A walk is made up of a very large amount of options and simple activities.

Every time we set out to walk, subliminally (unconsciously) we are meaning that we are going to move forward in any of the paths we wish to do, in the emotional, physical, intellectual, in health, in the affirmation of personality, creativity, work, love, in decision making, joy, hope, money, willpower, self-confidence, freedom, tranquility, positive thoughts, responsibility, and in any other attitude in which we want to strengthen ourselves, and of course, evolve.

Each time we take a few more steps, we receive new experiences, and each of these moments are creators of the next steps.

Each step you take is designed by those who preceded it, and this, when combined with the previous ones, will give form and sense to the next one, one by one; however, the conjunction of all of them will give the walk a perspective on where you are going. In the existence of a person, the set of attitudes and actions represent the conformation of the meaning of life, because the experiences that will be had in the future will be structured.

Attention should be maintained that the walks we intend to do should be carried out with pleasure, because as in everyday life, if our feelings and thoughts are negative, we will be undermining the path with negative situations. A future road full of stones, holes, will always be risky and we may have trips and falls.

Positive and healthy feelings and thoughts will show us plain and pleasant paths.

Each of the stones or physical obstacles that you encounter during each walk, can be represented with the different attitudes or feelings that you lead through life: fear, guilt, pain, resentment, hatred, and the 50 or more discomforts that we carry charging daily. We all have to evade during our “walk.”

As we said, each step leads us along the path we have chosen, and those steps can evade the stones and pitfalls with opportunity, if we remain alert.

Each stone can cause us harm, in a different way. Let’s circle them or jump on them.

Life is a laboratory where our attitudes towards her and other people, we are calibrating, and some of them we have to eliminate from our way of being.

When we repeat our walk along the same path, it is an analogy to our own existential behavior. We run into the same stones, that is, we have the same behaviors within our circumstantial environment. And all of them are the causality of happiness or suffering. The only thing we have to consider vehemently is that we will walk for the pleasure of doing so, that is, of accepting and loving ourselves.

I love my body and that’s why I walk; I love myself as I am and that’s why I move forward in life.

I like to walk, ergo, I accept myself.

***** Every step that is taken along the way is a new beginning and a new opportunity.

***** Every new moment in existence should be considered as a new beginning in everyday life.

Every time I walk, I feel that all that experience flows into my being. Any way I choose randomly? It is a source of answers and solutions.

Walking is moving forward, which implies direction and sense.

The fact of living is not only the fact of being alive, but that implies feeling, thinking, enjoying, knowing, etc.

Taking a direction is not necessarily choosing the sense of our walk, we can do it in one sense or the opposite sense:

Let’s walk with direction, but especially with sense and meaning.
