This Week…Being in the Present
We welcomed back some of my favorite bloggers this week… Ron and Alexandra Seigel. If you haven't read it, here is their post.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future,
concentrate the mind on the present moment. Buddha
What I learned from them was the power of being in the present. It seems so simple and perhaps it is for some people. However, it is something I’m still working on.
Your entire life only happens in this moment. The present moment is life itself. Yet, people live as if the opposite were true and treat the present moment as a stepping stone to the next moment - a means to an end. Eckhart Tolle
Seeing the Seigels in my blogroll reminded me of the strength of this community. I’ve had the good fortune to read and become friends with many members in the over 16 years I’ve been a member.
Many have left and thankfully many have returned. Some pick up where they left off…some stop in briefly.
Most people treat the present moment as if it were an obstacle that they need to overcome. Since the present moment is life itself, it is an insane way to live.
Eckhart Tolle
It doesn’t matter. As Michael Jacobs says… ActiveRain doesn’t take attendance. In the last few months, we’ve seen the return of Patricia Kennedy, Laura S. Baker, Brad Andersohn, Dr. Paula McDonald , and others.
Don't wait to be successful at some future point. Have a successful relationship with the present moment and be fully present in whatever you are doing. That is success.
Eckhart Tolle
Relish in every moment of your weekend!
