Be As A Child

“The great man is he who does not lose his child’s-heart.”- Mencius

Ahh…to see through a child’s eyes once again. Remember when everything was new and awe-inspiring? Remember when you used to get wildly enthusiastic about simple things?

Magic happened all the time when we were children, didn’t it? Look through the eyes of a child. See the world as fresh and beautiful…full of wonder, because it is. Each day that we awake, is a day to start over fresh and to look with wonder at all that is before us. Thinking not of the past or the future, but of the present, this moment because that is all there really is.

Bask in it, look to your left and to your right, above and below you, look as if it is the first time or the last time you are seeing this world filled with such glorious wonders. Do this and see how wonderful it feels and how filled with gratitude you are to be a part of this place called earth!

What Are You Looking For?

“What we see depends mainly on what we look for.”
- John Lubbock

This is so true! When I find myself looking for the bad in a situation or person…that’s exactly what I find. The opposite is true as well…when I look for the good in a person or situation, guess what I see more of? Yup! Good!

Simple really and yet not easy. It’s much easier to focus on the negative…we have to retrain ourselves to look for the positive no matter what the outside world is showing us. How many times have you been having a great day, everything just comes together and you’re smiling away…maybe 5 good things happen and yet, you hit a bump in the road and someone is nasty to you…say, a sales clerk is rude, a driver cuts you off, etc.

Do you find yourself focusing on that instead of the 5 good things that happened? At the end of your day, do you talk about the good things or do you focus on the not so good thing and tell everyone you talk to about it?

It just seems easier to focus on the negative for some reason…but it’s soooo possible to retrain ourselves and soooo worth it to do so! Today I am going to look for the good in every person and situation and see what happens, how about you?

Here and Now

“If you are not happy here and now, you never will be.”
- Taisen Deshimaru

Ain’t that the truth! If you don’t want what you have now you won’t ever have what you want. I think a part of what happiness is, is accepting what IS in the here and now. By being grateful for all experiences that come into my life and focusing on the good in them, even if I have to search real hard for that good sometimes, I am happy. The more I do this, the happier I am so that I know, happiness is a matter of choice. It’s just as easy to be happy as it is to be miserable…given the choice (which I as well as you are) I choose happiness!!

How about you?
