Living in the Present
Filed Under Law of Attraction |
I went on a motorcycle trip over the weekend. I know, I know—you don’t hear me talking about my Harley much, but I decided to bring “Max” into the picture today (Max is my Harley). Last week I was working on a project (the operative word is WORKING). I was quite drawn to staying home instead of taking our three-day trip. But then a little voice said to me, “When you are in joy, all of the answers come effortlessly.” So I went, and here’s what happened…
I should know better than to even consider working instead of playing. I had been looking for a new detail-oriented assistant for the last month. I had also been looking for some miracles around a movie project that we are doing, one that is not yet bringing in money.
While I was away on the motorcycle trip, I was enjoying myself, and I let my projects go from my mind. What happened? First thing Monday morning I found a perfect assistant, and half an hour later, another perfect applicant called. Then later, I was on the line with two possible organizations for full funding for our movie project. Awesome reminders that life was meant to be fun.
All your answers lie in the present moment. How will you know if you’re not living in the present? Well, life will be hard, silly.
The Harley Meditation: Being in the present simply means fully enjoying where you are. It means remembering that the past and future matter not. Riding with 35 other screaming bikes puts me right in the present. But then so do forests, my dog, and a kiss from my hubby. Today, I thank my hubby for reminding me that there is no way to happiness—happiness is the way.
What do you need to give up WORKING at?
Funny how you can surrender and get all your answers—or work hard and get very few.
