We run away from self. We want to constantly be on our smart-phones, on Facebook, email or online. What are we running away from? Boredom is our excuse to keep running away from self.

be

Where Peace Abounds…

Hear blessings dropping their blossoms around you.  – Rumi (the untold story)

our mind

Where is our mind right now? Is it exhausting on the worries of daily life? Is it being scattered by the routine that runs us?

still

Beauty and love abound. It’s the very undercurrent of all that is. This magical world is cleverly hidden under the hubbub of the mind and this world. It emerges just as soon as the mind becomes more still. It’s us who fail to notice and enjoy the ever-present peace underneath it all…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM still…

Leave a comment

The Moment we’ve been waiting for just arrived!  – Namaste Now!

the moment

All our previous moments have led us to this one. Now. This really has been the moment we’ve always anticipated. Our future has arrived. What will we do with it?

In my blog yesterday I set high expectations for today’s quote. That’s what we do daily when we anticipate something in the future. Does it help or does it hurt? How can we be fully present to the most amazing moment of all time?

tough and lovely

We might be facing a tough moment. In which case let’s embrace it fully and experience it for what it is. Then let’s look around and inside us to affirm all that’s good and is working. Let’s be grateful for what this difficult moment will eventually blossom into…

If it’s a lovely moment we’re experiencing then what is it that makes it lovely?

If we’re indifferent about this moment then how can we make this and every moment glorious?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM making the most of the most anticipated and amazing moment of all time!!

How To Live A Miraculous Life!

Leave a comment

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.  – Albert Einstein

routine

Our routine ways cause us to live a very routine life. One that begs for excitement and new things. Which is why we yearn for vacations, fun times and want to buy new stuff. Our daily existence becomes very ordinary.

extraordinary

There is another way to live. One where each moment and each breath is brand new. One in which we never get bored. Where we welcome each moment. And where life is fully embraced because each moment truly is a miracle. Daily life then becomes extraordinary…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM living an extraordinary existence!
