How To Live In The Moment!

We consider the present as a means to an end, so the present loses its immense significance.  – Krishnamurti

the moment

It’s so hard to be fully present in the moment. Why is that?

means to an end

In any given moment we’re generally doing one of 2 things: 1) We’re thinking about the past or 2) we’re planning/worrying about the future. We use the current moment to process the past or configure the future. We may instead use some of these moments to just be present. Then we’ll discover the ‘Now’ in its full glory and recognize its eternality.

How To Be Magnificent!

When we are doing things that make us happy, feeling upbeat and energized about life, we’re in touch with our magnificence and we find synchronicity happening around us.  – Anita Moorjani

now

How’s our day going? Are we engaged in activities and pursuits that energize us and keep us in a buoyant state of mind? Do we feel a certain exhilaration daily? Are we truly enjoying life?

magnificence

If we’re to be in touch with our higher self, the self that’s divine and guides us through this life, then we must live each day in a joyous fashion. When we do that we’re in synchrony with Life itself. There will still be the life lessons but things will start flowing a lot more smoothly! Try it!

The Ever Present Abode…

Into His Presence would I enter now.  – A Course in Miracles – ACIM

distraught?

There’s a lot of fear and uncertainty in the air. The whole planet is in transition and the very throes of change are in evidence. This is a difficult time for many.

his presence

The pilot light of God resides within us. We have a 24×7 eternal subscription to it and are remiss to not take advantage of this supreme gift. The very thought that this is the case can help us settle down. As we quiet down we will begin to experience the peace and joy within.

How To Become Great Dancers!

Let’s not write other people’s script.  – Sister Shivani

actors

We often find great pleasure focusing on how others can be better. In this grand drama where we are all actors we end up wanting to write others’ scripts. We think about what they should be doing or wearing. We want them to act the way it pleases us. We end up becoming control freaks!

the play

This eternal play relies on us doing our part well. If we focus on others too much then we don’t have time to direct self. With a healthy self-focus we can dance to the divine tune and live a joyous life. Let’s just dance!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM focused on my own dance performance!

next?

Where do we go from here? What next steps must we take? We often feel anxious when contemplating such questions.

right on

Let’s banish that anxiety. We’re exactly where we need to be. All’s quite well. Let’s put our heart and soul into living fully in the here and in the now!

The Pursuit of Happiness

The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet.  – James Oppenheim

the holy grail

The pursuit of happiness is the holy grail. Pursuing happiness is like trying to get ahead of the river while swimming in it.  We may pursue but grasp happiness we may not. It can only be experienced.

here

Everything worthwhile is here and now. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t seek after big goals. It just means that we take here and now with us, wherever we go. True happiness and fulfillment may only be found therein.
