Dysfunctional Merry Go Round?

"When we align with what is,

we access the source of lasting 

peace and contentment.

Eckhart Tolle

The decision to fight against the current or go with the flow is up to you.  Even when situations appear to be insurmountable, there is still a choice.  The choice might not be illustrious, but by making it, we will create movement.  Otherwise, we remain stuck or swept away by the current.

The ability to pause allows us time to weigh our actions.  Which steps will fill the desires of others and what ones will help to create balance in our own life?  When we activate the ability to stand still in spite of our circumstances, we can sense a small aspect of control.

Our lives offer peace when we align our desires with our actions.  A sense of contentment occurs when we utilize our actions to support our dreams.  As we tell our children to grasp the brass ring,  are we stuck on a dysfunctional merry go round?  When we tell our aging parents to enjoy life while they can, are we rotting on our own vine?  When we face reality and eliminate redundant routines, we make a path for better things ahead.
