Life is magical...it is everywhere around us...it is beauty...it is poetry, it is people...it is! wmf
A Well Known Fact: To step away from what is all too familiar gives the mind and soul a fresh start.
Wherever you are...whatever you are doing, there is no substitution for you...God made only one you to share with the rest of his creations and he intended that you learn what it is to be loved and to be loving. Loving and being loved are natural states of giving and receiving without effort; our energy flows out and ebbs back into us, dancing with the light of all the life that is all around us at any given moment. In the course of learning how to give love and how to receive love, we often experience its opposite...fear, in order to make a discernment about which one is best for us to express and experience and sometimes there is a lot of confusion about what is right until the hand of experience and knowledge guides or pushes us back on a course that is compatible with who and what we are.
As we face the opposite of love we can sometimes get caught up in the belief that life is wrong, bad....a merciless punisher extolling its price from us for our sins and such a belief is exists only when we have forgotten that we have the power to choose and express and think on love and goodness...that’s right we have the experiences we do so that we may learn to CHOOSE LOVE or CHOOSE FEAR...but first we must learn to choose. Everyday...every moment of our lives we have the power to choose to live in love or live by fear and the quality of our current circumstances is a reflection of where we are in that process...each moment a chance to move closer to or further from love.
Today’s activity on How to be happy in fifteen minutes or less is fun and simple, all it requires is that you find a place where there are trees...birds and water if possible. Find this place and for fifteen minutes listen and feel the natural world working effortlessly around you...notice clouds, sky, birds, bugs, grass, trees...anything that is natural and just listen, watch and feel how it works effortlessly around you. Breathe deeply and release tension from your body as you observe and experience. Breathe deeply and release the thoughts from your mind and just feel nature’s effortless being. Breathe deeply and sense and feel your organs in your body effortlessly doing what nature around you is also doing. Feel only...keep your mind quiet and feel the sounds, see the sights, smell the smells...nature effortlessly being and doing. Keep your attention on the feeling of what you are observing and at the end of fifteen minutes quietly say out loud...THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! and
Have a great day!
