Stop measuring days by degree of productivity and start experiencing them by degree of presence.
- Alan Watts
We often get so engrossed in ‘doing’ that we forget we are human ‘beings’, not human ‘doings‘. How many moments in a given day are we dwelling in the essence of who we are? How many moments are we truly present with what is and not lost in the stories of our mind? How many moments are we at peace with this present moment? How many moments during our day are we able to ‘be’ without the chatter of the mind?
The more the presence we introduce in our moments, the more improved our quality of life would be. One way to come to presence is to accept this moment as it is and be attentive and watchful of the reality of this moment. If ever the mind pulls you away, bring it back to this moment.
This moment is precious. If there is any New Year’s resolution you intend to take, this would be the most important one. Let us add more presence into our lives. This is remembrance - remembering your true essence.
Wish you all a great year ahead…
May we all drop the stories of our minds and see reality as it is.
May we drop all resistance to whatever is happening, realizing all that is happening is as it should be.
May we experience joy and peace in each moment.
