Giving Yourself More Opportunities To Feel Proud..
I am sure like me, you also need to learn appreciating your present moments & everything that is happening right now without wishing it were different.
Darling listen – you need to enjoy good & pleasant things without worrying that these will end soon (which it may). You also need to be peaceful being with the unpleasant without fearing it will always be this way (which it won’t).
Whether you like it or not Sun will rise & set everyday. When you look at a sunrise or sunset, you also don’t say or think that – it should be more yellow, pink or orange so that you can appreciate & enjoy it more. No, no one does that. You enjoy & appreciate it as it unfolds & the way it remains throughout the day.
In the same way, you need to learn to appreciate yourself the way you are, every individual around you & everything happening at this moment in the same way that you appreciate a sunrise & sunset. Everything including you & everyone else is just as wonderful as sunrise or sunsets, if you can let them be.
When you think that this isn’t how it’s supposed to be, when you fail to appreciate things & people the way they are at this moment, you are actually practicing resistance, not mindfulness! Remember this!
I repeat – the way things are right now is just the way they are, based on the way all the previous moments have unfolded. So, in a way, this is the way things are “supposed” to be right now. You neither can control the sunrise or sunset nor you can control the way things are right now.
There are two choices with you in every moment – accept what’s happening, see the positive & choose a peaceful state of mind; or fight against it, be miserable & struggle against the universe.
Sweetheart, I am not saying that you shouldn’t do your best to improve, elevate, upgrade or take steps forward to grow from here. No, not all! All I am saying is accept what is right now & develop the habit of looking at whatever happens through a positive mindset instead of a negative or defeatist one.
Let me clarify that acceptance of this moment (mindfulness) is not at all related to weakness & is definitely not a synonym of conformity or mediocrity. On the contrary, this will help you to identify when it’s time to persist, accept & when it’s time to move.
Sweetheart, if you keep your attention focused on the moment, you can be sure of one thing, that whatever you are attending to in this moment will change, giving you the ample opportunities to practice accepting whatever it is that will emerge in the next moment.
Clearly, there is advantage & wisdom in cultivating mindfulness. It will make your life flow smoothly instead of roughly.
Mindfulness is a simple-but-not-easy practice that most of us never get “good” at, which is why I said in the beginning that we all need to learn to accept the present moment as it is. It’s a skill that we all have to work on our entire life.
Acceptance or as we say Mindfulness is the key & proven practice to convert momentary happiness to enduring happiness. It actually helps you move from feeling connected to actually being connected & aligned to this Universe (God’s Plans).
I want you to patiently practice mindfulness, act with pure intentions, no matter what & believe me, all that is meant for you will come to you, very soon 🙏
Good Wishes & Tons of Blessings 💐
