Just For Today, I Will….

Here are all the phrases people use to talk about their relationship with time.

Because people are so caught up in the concept of time and the limits that they feel they have, people get angry.  People worry.  People cut corners when doing work, and they become stressed. People forget about kindness.

The poster reminds us that sometimes we must be mindful of the little things.. like giving thanks, like being kind, like being honest.  We can always find evidence to support that the world is against us, or that we are being wronged.  We have learned to blame.

What a nice change it would make if we could all look at the way the world works for us, and to see how the Universe supports us. 

Just for today, I will…

Go in peace.

About Perfection

image

Somewhere in our lives, the idea of being perfect was drummed into us.  This may have happened at home or at school.  The concept of perfection is a truly human idea.  Nature sees everything as perfect.

When we go with the flow, and let things happen, we can see that the truth of what happens is very different from our ideas or preconceptions of what should happen.  The flow is outside of our idea of perfection.  Perhaps, then, our ideas are wrong, and we need to change them.

Learning to release the preconceived ideas that we have is a difficult task because many ideas are integral to our belief systems.  We learn those belief systems from our parents, extended family, and religion or community.  How do you undo what you have learned?

To undo learning, you must try new things outside the box of your learning.  You need to make mistakes and see what happens.  It is almost like playing a computer game.  Sometimes the most illogical moves give you the greatest gains in the game.

Go in peace.

Let Go of Your Unhappiness

image

Discussions and debates about how to be happy have been topics of conversation for centuries.  Believing that unhappiness is self inflicted seems to be the sentiment that rules concepts of unhappiness.

However, the poster above resonates as being the most correct assessment of happy/unhappy.  Being unhappy is negative.  Negativity is not intelligent.  It is so simple!

What is more amazing is that Buddha was saying the same thing thousands of years ago.  Let go of the negative.

Today, try immediately releasing any negative thoughts that pop into your brain.  See if you feel different.  See if you feel happy.

Go in peace.
