Be Present in All You Do and You Will Know Peace

It's so easy to get caught up in our day-to-day lives-in the grind. We often take on 'roles'-employee, friend, companion-but do you ever stop to think about who you really are.

'You' are not any of these roles mentioned above-they are as stated, Roles. These are mere parts we play in life-our life, in the life of others.

Who we really are, at least from my perspective is something far more complex yet simple in nature as it is. What I mean is, we know we have the ability to think, feel, touch, taste, smell, hear and see. We have a physical form-the body- and then we have the inner us. Some may call this the spirit or devine energy. This is what I'm really getting at.

Sometimes we get caught up in our thoughts or worldly obsessions and forget to stop and just be; to take a look within and realize we are so much more than what we perceive-and to appreciate this truth...Something to think about.

Thought for the Day-  

The only way to end suffering is to accept suffering for what it is. The only way to accept anything is to be present. Be present in all you do and you will know peace.

You are not the Dancer, You are the Dance

Recently, I've been reading Eckart Tolle's 'A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose'. It's been an interesting and thought provoking read.

I've struggled in my life with anxiety and obsessive thoughts; this book has really helped me to examine my life and the way I perceive things to be. It's definitely put some things into perspective and helped me to realize some truths as well as be more appreciative- even in those dark moments.

So...Here is The Thought for the Day:
