Remember that life is a journey. Enlightenment, happiness or whatever we’re trying to achieve is just a part of it. The only goal is personal evolution, becoming a better person than what we were yesterday. Don’t be so hard on yourself nor drown yourself in life’s comforts, but use today to make a small step towards bettering yourself.
Day 8 ~ I Begin my Day with a Mind Full of Wonder and Awe
I begin my day with a mind full of wonder and awe. To be curious like a child, look at things with fresh eyes, observe and soak in everything around me, yet be the judge of none. The tree outside the window, a flower on the walking path, the sunny sky patched with clouds, I observe them and get absorbed. The moment in which everything exists together. This is life, take those deep slow breaths and have a wonderful day.
Day 7 ~ Though I May Wake up to a day that Greets Me
Though I may wake up to a day that greets me with multiple tasks to accomplish or many an obstacle to cross or even conquer the same old fears yet again. I shall pick myself up, put a smile on my face and step into the unknown, for I’m stronger than I can imagine. I have made it this far, I will make it through whatever today has in store for me.
Day 6 ~ When Life Knocks you Down, Perhaps it’s Time to be Thankful
When life knocks you down, perhaps it’s time to be thankful for the things going right for you. It’s so easy to lose focus on the good when you’re stressed. Even a meal is a blessing, clean clothes are a blessing, drinking water is a blessing, family and friends are blessings too. There’s more good than bad, and neither of them will last forever. Seize the moment, enjoy being knocked down, it’s just leading you onto a better path.
Day 5 ~ By Acknowledge and Appreciating the Little Things
By acknowledge and appreciating the little things people do for me, I open the doors to larger acts of kindness towards me. By sending out kindness, I attract the same. Today let me share a smile with a stranger, or hold the door open for someone every little act of mine sends a ripple of positivity out, may the ripples find me again in my time of need.
