In the Now

"Past and future are in the mind only - I am now."

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Change is necessary for us to propel our lovely selves forward. It can definitely be disruptive, but it is two sided as it can also offer fresh calm. If we glance back across time, we can evaluate how we have lived and what consequences appeared. We can be uncomfortable looking forward into the unknown. Then there is this present moment.

This space before us is where we need to focus. Make an inventory to assess what needs to be addressed.  It may  be mental, physical, spiritual or all three combined. Deciding upon the need, explore what action can best propel us forward. Not just a quick fix, but an upgrade to what has been attempted previously.

Be honest with the self. Do not minimize or dismiss thinking personal needs are selfish or unimportant. Invest in this day with as much gusto as one might offer to a friend. Solidifying parts of the self enable us to offer more into our world. We will boost our compassion and creative input, while being a beacon for others.
