Be "Mindful"...we hear this all the time, some take the time to try and figure out the how's and some even the whys of that word. Then there are those of us that have mastered it to some degree and have seen the transformation from dark to Light. For some the road is as simple as acting "as if " the trick being to stay the course, easier said than done ironically. In saying I have entered into a state of mastering is simply to say that I acknowledge it is all brought about in HIS time, not mine and I recognize how vast a course any stage can be. God has always liked to boot me in the ass for lack of a better term, there isn't one. I humbly acknowledge that it takes that to get my full and rapt attention sometimes. I am one to take emotions and thoughts to an extreme, that is my comfort zone which is hard for many to grasp, I like the trenches and there is no fear for me there.
Living in the present moment affords me many choices on any given day to act or react in a way that can build a bridge or tear one down, it is left up to me. Living in the moment challenges me minute by minute to grasp a moment and squeeze the juice right out of it and I do. Doing this repeatedly makes life rather fluid and I can no longer do it comfortably any other way. When I find myself swimming against the tide or "white knuckling" ANYTHING, I MUST pause to remember self sabotage is not an uncommon practice in this human form. I am here to Love and to learn, teaching and giving of oneself is a means to an end in the best possible form...it is proof of a life well lived, a life lived in the moments we are talking of.
Epiphanies equal change, often times as they permeate our Psyche and spill into our hearts, presumably making the heart larger...they bring along tremendous pain.
That tremendous pain will then often catapult us into a higher place, a place free of a need to judge, a place where only the things built on, around or with love matter.
Ask a mother that has lost a child what a handful of moments are worth. How about posing the same question to a woman left alone to raise three young boys when her husband dies without warning due to a twist of fate.
Let us ponder a couple deeply in love after being reunited in their later years, they go on to marry and see a whole new life before them at a time when many are resigning themselves to closing out their lives. Imagine what value is placed on their "moments"...Now imagine that same couple finding out six weeks into their heaven on earth finding out the other has a terminal illness. Moments are all they have...if it wasn't their truth before it has certainly become their bittersweet truth now, hasn't it?
Every day, all over the world we live...consciously or unconsciously...the choice is yours, really. Knowing you have this choice why would you choose anything other than joy? I encourage you with all my heart to live from your heart without reservation, without revisiting yesterday...without dread for things that have not happened. I can promise you this, living this way you will live with a sense of wonder and gratitude, you will feel everything and I offer this to you...there IS no other way.
My Love to you comes out with Light and powerful intention...find your peace and give from it freely
Nakupenda,
Malaika
