Why Here and Why Now?

Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And Tomorrow is only a Vision;
But Today well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!

here and now

This is it, today and now is all we have! We live our entire life, our existence, our dreams and sorrows; all during today.

We often spend time regretting the past or reliving it. We also spend time worrying about the future. While it’s good to learn from past mistakes and great to plan ahead, lets not miss out on the priceless opportunities that ‘Now’ has to offer. The ever present and eternal Now is where reality intersects with consciousness, which is the real YOU.

Be Here Now, Now Be Here.Ram Dass

affirmations

Today I AM here in this Now. I AM present.

Secret To Happiness?

The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.William Morris

secret?

This is an interesting approach. If we take real interest in the ‘details of daily life’, then we’re paying more attention, we’re living in the moment and attempting to connect deeply with life. This works!

affirmations

Today I AM paying attention to all that’s going on in my life. I feel connected to Life.

How To Be Mindful?

The best way to capture moments is to pay attention. This is how we cultivate mindfulness. Mindfulness means being awake. It means knowing what you are doing.Jon Kabat-zinn

being awake

When we pay attention, when we become more still, when our thoughts slowly grind to a halt and when we’re fully experiencing life, we’re being mindful. Being mindful instills peace and calms us down. In that state we can more easily be ‘inspired’ and physically healthy.

affirmations

Today I AM here. I AM fully awake. All is well. Life is good.
