You ever woke up one morning and felt as though something is missing in your life? You couldn't quite put a finger as to what that is only that a sense of incompleteness admixed with urgency and helplessness seems to hover over you. your gut feeling tells you there should be something more, a connecting piece that's missing in your life's puzzle. Well, you are right. And you are not alone.
The truth is we all possess inherent and endearing qualities which will enable us to live the lives we've always wanted and dreamed of. What's more is that we each have potentials and strengths we didn't know we had all along. It is not enough to discover ( or rediscover) all that is best and good in us. We have to nurture these qualities and apply them in our own circle of life. When was the last time you woke up and said," Hey I felt good about yesterday!" Let me tell you, most people don't even remember what it was they did 2 to 3 days ago, let alone yesterday.
What am I driving at here?
Well, the first step to personal change is to develop a higher sense of Awareness. I am not referring only to your relationships with your loved ones and other people in general, whether they be friends or colleagues at work. It's actually much more than that. Yes they complete you and contribute in defining who you are, but ultimately it is You who dictates the life you want. By a higher sense of awareness I mean also being aware of the moments that comprise your life and your place in them.
Be aware of the Now, this Instance, this Moment.
Value the time that has been given to you for it is the only thing that is truly yours. It is the one thing in your life you have the power to control many times over. You see, Time is a funny thing. We always say we are out of time or that there isn't enough time. The truth is we had all the time in the world up to the point when we say that. By being more aware we can gauge time more wisely. Be aware of the little things that flash by you, the senseless acts of love that warms your heart and put a smile on your face. Appreciate them so that everytime you remember, you will always feel good. So this is the first thing we must do, heighten our senses and develop a deeper sense of awareness.
Improving the quality of our lives isn't easy nor is it simple. I mean I can sit here and type away and ask you to change this and that but, honestly, how many people do you think would actually consider or even try ( yourself included, of course). I am here because I want you to consider the possibilities, the " What if's", if you were to do things a little differently, if you were to change. With that let me ask you these questions....
" Aren't you tired of dreaming? Don't you think it's time you do something?"
Let me tell you, nothing feels worse than feeling helpless. Well, maybe there is something worse- to resign yourself to this helplessness, and not even being able to do anything about it or even trying to. You see, there is no secret to life. Everything changes and our actions are dictated by need. What's more is that we define our needs based on our priorities and our priorities sometimes change.
So today let's take a moment to notice things we barely notice or even pay attention to at all. Even the smallest and seemingly unimportant things can open our senses. A heightened sense of awareness does two things for us, essentially. First, our sense of observation improves drastically. Secondly, we open our minds more to questions, possibilities, and solutions. So hey, don't just sit there and read through all this with passive minds. The last word I said was Solutions. Answers. Make it a habit from now on to be more observant of the many puzzle pieces which comprise your life and the person that is You...this is your First hurdle.
Tomorrow, we begin a new day, so do come back........thank you.
