In the moment

In this moment, what is most important?

With the daily frustrations, busy lifestyles, desires of success, and the expectation to be and do everything, we sometimes forget what is most important at this moment.

Everyone has heard the sayings, "Live in the moment," "Live as if today could be your last." You don't know when your last day will be. Or the last day of your spouse, child, friend, mother or father.

When your child is whining, or you can't sleep because your child is sneaking into your bed at night, or your child makes the same mess every day, all day. When your husband leaves the seat up or his socks throughout the house. When your mother calls at the most inconvient moments--every day, your dad says the most insensitive things unknowingly, or your friend pops over unannounced all the time.

Remember to ask yourself this question, "In this moment, what is most important?" Is it to keep the house clean or enjoy the children? Is it to sleep or to cuddle with your child? If your husband passed, would the socks or the toilet seat matter? Maybe your friend finds comfort in you and loves being or feeling like a part of your family. Or just maybe, your mother needs YOU.

Today in the moments of frustration, ask yourself the question, "In this moment, what is most important?"

Lesson Of The Day

What you need to know about the past is that no matter what has happened, it has all worked together to bring you to this very moment. And this is the moment you can choose to make everything new. Right Now!

This is one of the most important principles of letting go and moving forward.

Positive Thinking...With Emotion!

If we truly want to use "Positive Thinking" to enhance our lives, it needs to be done with
emotion.

The definition of Positive Thinking is: A thought that does not have any negetive limitations of what one can do.

Many of you that participate in the concept of positive thinking wonder why many times it does not work or that nothing changes, and that is because it is done without emotion and the belief that it will come true.

For example, have your ever heard someone say "Today will be a great day."

Do they really feel and believe with emotion that they will have a great day or do they just say that because they want to tell someone else or themselves that they are a positive thinker?

Positive affirmations can be stated repeatedly, but without feeling emotion when saying it, the desire will be less likely to take place.

Lives and situations will shift if our thoughts are applied with emotion, so give it a try and watch the universe around you become full of positive change.
