Wherever You Are, Be There

Wherever You Are, Be There

One of the major reasons why we fail to find
happiness or to create a unique lifestyle is because
we have not yet mastered the art of being.

While we are home our thoughts are still absorbed
with solving the challenges we face at the office.
And when we are at the office we find ourselves
worrying about problems at home.

We go through the day without really listening to
what others are saying to us. We may be hearing
the words, but we aren't absorbing the message.

As we go through the day we find ourselves
focusing on past experiences or future possibilities.
We are so involved in yesterday and tomorrow that
we never even notice that today is slipping by.

We go through the day rather than getting
something from the day. We are everywhere at any
given moment in time except living in that moment
in time.

Lifestyle is learning to be wherever you are.

It is developing a unique focus on the current
moment, and drawing from it all of the substance
and wealth of experience and emotions that it has
to offer.

Lifestyle is taking time to watch a sunset.

Lifestyle is listening to silence.

Lifestyle is capturing each moment so that it
becomes a new part of what we are and of what
we are in the process of becoming.

Lifestyle is not something we do; it is something we
experience. And until we learn to be there, we will
never master the art of living well.

To Your Success,
