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 To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day 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!

– Kalidasa

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 even better 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

Recommendation: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle

The older I get, the surer I am that I’m not running the show. – Leonard Cohen

There’s a greater intelligence, there’s a source from which all things, concepts, values, life and meaning proceed. At certain times of our lives or even during the course of a day, we can feel it, we can sense the underpinning of it all.

The trick is to recognize that power, realize that it runs through us and everyone else. Consciously accept it and allow it a free run in our life. Application of faith might be necessary initially.

Things start to happen when we do that. Try it.
