A MEDITATION

BE STILL - JUST FOR TODAY

How would you feel if you knew that where you are at

is where help will reach you? It’s the perfect place to

begin.

Tired, cloudy, painful thoughts hurt and crumple your

physical strength and exhaust your mental fiber. In a

state like this only a radically different approach will

bring relief. So I ask you to be still. Waiting not for

tomorrow doing what needs to be done today! Give up

the battle of the need to do verses the need to rest and

do nothing!

All questions ‘how’, ‘when’, ‘what’ and the surly ‘why

‘mean nothing. Put it aside with a deliberate stroke.

Now take the time to let go. Do not try to get things

better. Your efforts are done you need a light at the

end of the tunnel. Rather than double your efforts put

down the yoke of worry. Think not of tomorrow and its

endless requirements.

Today needs no solution, say that aloud

‘TODAY I WILL NOT TRY AND FIND A SOLUTION’.

Breathe deeply focus on your breathing. In and out

…warm air cold air…heaving chest, expanding and

contracting that is your task at a time like this.

Release your efforts which have been fruitless. Know

this is the time not to do OR not to undo but to be still

in acceptance, non-judgment, and without fear. Stop

running with your desires and make them bid your

command instead.

Go then where you want to be not where you think you

ought to be. For where you want to be is really the

zone you ought to be into live and give of the talents

you are blessed with. With respect for yourself you will

search peace in the inner self and find roots in the

ground of love.

Slow then, is not doing nothing or going nowhere

rather it’s the fast track to wholesome true living.

Love Always

VIEWPOINT

Buoyancy is to remain lighthearted and spirited in the face of disappointment.
Determination is to find an alternative in the shadows of temporary defeat.

Strength is to believe that all is well, while you carry out day to day responsibility and work.
Courage is to make the best of the situation by helping another in a similar kind of situation.

Guts are to take the risk to trust in the incident of peril.
Staying power is to continue to be inspired by hurdles.

Grit is to swallow the bitter frustration as if it was the sweet fruit of accomplishment.
Stamina is to change approach but keep on track inspite of fatigue.

Fortitude is to do all of the above.

Life is pretty….
Life can be pretty much ‘for the future’ pastime, if you cannot live for today.

At present, questions throng my mind.
Nowadays, is it a trend to appear to be present on the vehicle of progress?
Is it a game at the moment to mouth tired expressions for effect alone?
These days is it easy to succeed and easier to fail?

For one thing I know and that is

NOW is full of opportunity to think better,
act better than yesterday?
