STILLNESS
I feel inspired by all the beauty surrounding me….but the challenge is to balance the beauty and the grace with the rest of my life which includes making a living….raising a family…..and the day to day responsibilities of being a concerned human being.
At times this challenge seems daunting. As far as I can remember there has always been something to be concerned about and to worry about if I focus on it. The antidote is to develop the ability to be in the moment . I have said numerous times that there’s a direct correlation with how you start your day and the quality of your life. See my article Start Your Day on YOur Terms. When we start our day with focus and take time for silence we develop our ability to become silent during the day and to experience a stillness which is the experience of the now.
In the morning as we start to develop our experience of the now our whole day will be positively effected. Tomorrow take some time for you and your experience of silence. The world and all its concerns and problems can wait for you be be a more focused and present you…..these problems have existed long before you became aware of them and will be there in some form long afterwards.but at least for this time in the morning you can be free of these concerns.
