Although I haven't written for a while I have kept reading...this is good news. I fear however that I have read everything but understood nothing. So, here I am trying to take my time to get back to the understanding behind my reading.
I wanted to share a quote from Pema Chödrön's book When Things Fall Apart:
"Now is the only time. How we relate to it creates the future. In other words, if we're going to be more cheerful in the future, it's because of our aspiration and exertion to be cheerful in the present. What we do accumulates; the future is the result of what we do right now" (emphasis added).
This is profound to me. I know I've heard this advice before but perhaps I just needed to hear it again, or said in this way, or at this precise moment. Or perhaps all three.
Today I'm am working on my tomorrow. The journey is the destination.
What is your journey? What 5 words describe where you want to be 1 day, 1 month, 1 year, 1 decade from now?
Fulfilled, Generous, Joyful, Peacefilled
