LET YOURSELF BE SILENTLY DRAWN
BY THE STRANGE PULL OF WHAT YOU REALLY LOVE. IT WILL NOT LEAVE YOU ASTRAY. -RUMI |
9/26/2017 3 Comments One Most Important ThingOur life's journey brings various people and experiences into our field of awareness. It causes waves of thoughts and emotions to move us to a deeper understanding of ourselves and of those around us. There is one most important thing that I believe we must remember throughout this journey - that regardless of the nature of our experience, our job is to accept and surrender to it. Resistance to the here and now creates currents that go against the flow of life. It makes the terrain all the more difficult to navigate. We are naturally wired to resist, it takes effort and intentionality to surrender and trust that life is unfolding the way it is supposed to. When you think about it, all we have is this moment, really. So, I would say that the power is in the now. Because it is only in this present moment when we can choose. We can choose to be joyful, grateful, and loving. Or we can choose to not be any of those things. The outcome of the next moment, we call the future, depends greatly upon the choices we make in the present moment.

I love this.. our sadness and pain and worries only happens when we are not in the present. And yes, I agree that the only thing we have control over is in the present moment. And whatever our hopes and dreams are for the future or tomorrow relies greatly on this very moment. Thank you for sharing this.

WelcomeI am a lover of life, beauty, and vitality. I believe that we are creators of our own reality. It is important that our thoughts, feelings, speech, and actions reflect our true, essential nature. Through stillness, we can find our true selves. My desire is to share the journey into myself in the hopes of creating a space that connects with others who find themselves on the same path. I hope that you will find inspiration in this place.
