As the season’s energy peaks, remember this: living
moment to moment, fully, and in complete gratitude, is the best celebration.
Life
is a gift. You didn’t ask for it. Yet you have been born and given this
lifetime. That you have been created human is a blessing. So celebrate your
creation, make your lifetime memorable. Don’t squander this priceless gift away.
There
are two factors that inhibit your living fully, intensely. One is worry. Worry
is only about the future. It is always about what isn’t yet! And the other is
guilt and/or grief. Guilt and/or grief are always about the past. About what has
happened – about what is dead and gone. So, as long as you are steeped in worry
and guilt/grief, you are not in the now. But Life happens only in the NOW! If
you are not present in the now, in the moment, it will be gone – never to
return again.
One
sure way of expunging worry and guilt/grief is to understand Life deeply. Ask
yourself – What am I afraid of? What am I worried about? What am I grieving
over? What am I feeling sorry for? When you examine these questions closely and
try to find their answers, you will find that invariably you will connect back
to fearing a loss – of something you possess, of someone you love or perhaps,
the loss of your own Life. But dig deeper and you will reckon that you came
empty-handed and you will go empty-handed. All that you gained here in this
Lifetime, including your relationships and your memories of this experience, will
not go with you when you depart. So, where is this
fear of perceived loss coming from? Only
when you internalize this truth, will you awaken to living joyously, in the
moment!
Drop
all your worries. Get rid of your guilt. Let go of all grief. Life is not about
doing. It is about being. When your whole being is tuned as a thanksgiving to
Life, you will be soaked in abundance and bliss! This does not mean inaction.
This means acting with total awareness. This means living fully – maximizing the
opportunity to live and celebrate each moment!
Have
a magnificent Sunday…
