Several times a day I say to myself:
“This moment is a blessing”
* No other moment, not the future or the past, but ‘this’ moment
* It is not that there are no problems (all my problems are in the future), but that this moment is actually a good thing, a blessing because I am alive
* I can only enjoy something if I am grateful for it so I am grateful for my life… my life right now. I may have a terminal illness but right now, this moment I am alive, it is that I am grateful for. Anything I am grateful for is a blessing to me.
* When I see this moment as wonderful (see what I did there, I added ‘wonderful’ because ‘blessings’ are such a good thing) I don’t want, this moment, to be spoiled with Fear or Anger
* When I make decisions, in this moment, without Fear or Anger, I make decisions that are very different than I would otherwise
* I am able to feel Peace
* I am able to feel Joy@Jasmine-3 – Thank you. This has provided me not only great peace, but I am treating others around me much better. That is really the thing that provides me peace and serenity in my soul.
I shared this with a friend and he commented “So if we are just accepting of the way things are , what do we “do”? Why should we go to work to get ahead? In this moment why don’t we just lay around. because what is the point?”
I thought for a long moment and responded “service, we should be helping others, that is what we should be doing.”
At the time we were at work. I then commented that we were are work not because of the fear of being homeless (well yes, that too, but that Fear based thinking is what I am trying to get away from), but because we are in “service” to our families. While at work we are in “Service” to our employers and the coworkers around us.
Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine.
