“What you seek is seeking you.”

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”
― Barack Obama
It doesn’t take much to ignite an inferno when tensions are running high. At some point the fire eventually burns itself out, but the damage remains long after. It is in these moments of frustration that we can learn compassion, patience and acceptance. This strange energy that has enfolded our world isn’t finished yet, so it is important to go within and be strong in expressing what you believe in.
No Good News – There are days where it seems like nothing good is happening. Of course, that isn’t true, but when it feels that way it is best to push back and limit your exposure to mainstream media. Sensationalism sells, and it fans the flames. By not participating in the negative swirl of energy you can protect yourself and remain in a positive frame of mind. It is much easier to create the life you want when you aren’t focused on the negative that isn’t a direct part of your existence. If the negative does surround you, then find solace in going within. Nothing can enter that space without your invitation.
Thought of the Day – Take ten minutes and meditate today. It will change your perception and can make a big difference in how you feel. It doesn’t need to be a big deal, just ten minutes where you close your eyes and pay attention to your breath. Notice how quickly the mind wanders and continue to bring it back to focusing on the breath. It is a great way to slow down and find a way to create harmony in your body.
The breath is the anchor to everything that is good and peaceful. Enjoy a self-centred day.
“Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves – slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh
