The
best moments for me is when I am in the Now. When I can sit, talk, be
silent or contemplate and appreciate my surroundings with myself or
with others. It is when the past is not holding on to me, when the
future is not my focus but the present moment is simply there and it
fills me up with love. This is how I will know I succeeded when I can
make these moments occur more frequently.
My
thought for today: Be aware of the unnecessary chatter going on in
your mind or a feeling of "something" you are meant to do.
For instance, like the expectation you place on yourself to be liked
all the time thinking you must make sure you do this, that or the
other. Or when you want to be a "success" at work and try
too hard. When these pressures are at the forefront of your mind
there is no way of knowing if you are fully present. Life will simply
pass us by. By being present you get to experience life and be in
control of it.
A
reminder by Eckhart Tolle:
“The
mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however,
it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately, it is not so
much that you use your mind wrongly – you usually don't use it at
all. It uses you.”
The
Power of Now
It's
okay to take a break and take in the simple pleasures in life that
make you smile, fill you up with joy and that take your breath away.
So if you haven't done it already free yourself from the state you
are constantly in, the one you rely on and step outside your own
comfort zone to do, feel or be something different.
