Being in the present with total awareness allows us to observe it so that we can watch its unfolding as if we were watching the sun rise or set. We don’t tell the sun how to do what it knows to do so brilliantly, we simply watch, and we experience what we’re seeing with acceptance.

I am presentI am lightI am loveI am tolerantI am acceptingI am wholeI coexist

I see clearlyI am tolerantI am compassionateI take responsibility for my perceptions

My thoughts come and goI am not my thoughtsI am not attached to my thoughtsI am free of my thoughts

When you’re present in the moment with total awareness, you become finely tuned to anything that feels out ofstep or not in alignment with who you are. And when westep out of Mindfulness, we can immediately feel that we are not fully aware, or connected to ourselves completely.

On the path of self-realization, there is no one big awakening, but many along the way of varying degrees: some small, some big; and each oneof them is like the lotus flower, which grows out of muddywaters.

You are the director of your life movie, and can change,alter, enhance, and even erase an image, impression, scene,or scenario that serves no positive purpose for you to holdonto. Our memories create pictures in our minds, and we canchange them, rearrange them, or delete them as we wish.

Find your stillness. Find your acceptance. Find yourgratitude. And most of all find you in the magic. You’rethere. You’re the magic moment. Now let it happen and itwill. Believe in yourself.

A magical moment reminds us of how magical life canbe, but it doesn’t mean its job is to entertain us, or inebriateus, or exalt us, or make us feel special all of the time. That’sputting the burden onto something outside of ourselves.

The truth is that all of the moments of our lives are magical because we are alive in them.
