This Moment. . .

 

 

Last week I made a trip to visit with my Mom and Sis.   On the drive

to and from Florida I listened to a seminar on CD.  One of the 

speakers that really made an impression on me was Marie Forleo.  

(Knew I liked her the minute she started to speak.)  It could have been

her enthusiasm or just her pleasant personality, but when she started

to speak on Living in the Moment she had my complete attention.

 

I am a list person and use those to get things accomplished, groceries

gotten, chores done.....etc.   She brought this up and said your goals

are not as important as the moment.  She stated working on yourself

doesn't work.  Her belief was when you take care of this moment the

future takes care of itself.  So writing down goals and making the end

product the important thing won't work!  Or at least it won't work for

making the best life you can have!  What is important is where you are

and what you are doing right this moment...

Doesn't matter if you are in a grocery store line or doing the dishes,

each is so important.  Enjoy those people around you in line.... 

enjoy that warm water and those suds...   Be there and enjoy what

is going on around you this very minute.

 

Made sense to me!!!   I thought and thought about it!!!  How

could you have a bad day if you make the most of every minute

and enjoy it for what it is? How wonderful each moment and

each day would be for each of us!

........  ..This video is five minutes long but it delivers a wonderful message and I believe is worth all five minutes.  I believe it so much I have watched it three times!  It has to be read, but I think you will enjoy it!

 

Now is nothing,

an infinitesimal membrane of time

through which the future passes into the past.

Yet now is the only moment we know.

But to be in that moment,

to have our attention be here, now;

not caught up in the past or the future,

not caught up in worry or concern,

to be at peace with what is,

to know that still center about which time turns,

Ah, that is our challenge.

So hard,

because we are so easily lost in thought.

So easy,

because it is right here, all there really is.

All we need to do is

notice what is

notice what it feels like to be in a body,

the air against the skin,

the sounds around.

Not to label them

and start another train of not-now

Simply experience the sensations, as they are.

HOPE YOU ARE ENJOYING

THIS VERY MOMENT

AND EACH MOMENT ALL WEEK LONG!!!!
