Keeping your approach to your day can be very simple. You have two basic choices. Choice #1: Continue to endure and struggle to get life to conform to your ideas. This choice includes suffering, endless self-concern, and a general unhappiness toward everything. Or Choice #2: See your day as another chance, an opportunity to study and watch yourself to observe your actions, reactions, and decisions and discover what is true and what is not. This choice includes freedom from all your thoughts, no struggling, but a relaxed, peaceful existence. These two choices are as different as night and day.
At any time during your day, you can look within and ask yourself: What choice am I living in? You can switch choices whenever you see you have unconsciously chosen the wrong one. What could be simpler? Your discovery will shock you but set you free in ways you cannot know until you watch and study everything about you. You will reach new levels of understanding and be happy and content. Your heart has yearned for this since you were born. Listen to your heart; all can be different, for it is true. There is a peaceful place inside of you that you must find, and it can be found.
It seems obvious that Choice # 2 is the one to pick…but, it takes effort and content vigilance to even see that I am in Choice #1, especially since old habitual, mechanical, negative ways are so ingrained. I do appreciate you reminding me that I can start over in any moment. In this moment I choose peace over being right !
Right Glenda, the only thing real is this moment!
Great message! Thanks Steve.
