To get the full effect of what I ’ m talking about , you can do so right now …
So go ahead – use the following steps : Step 1 ) stop what you are currently doing … Step 2 ) get up & go outside ( or look out a window ) … Step 3 ) take a deep breath while you let the Beauty of your Life flow smoothly into your awareness .
Now repeat these steps for a few breaths … Stay with this conscious “ Appreciation-break ” for several minutes if you wish , and remember to smile while doing so . ( Of course , as you find yourself slipping into a deep Gratitude for simply being alive , the smile will come on its own .)
“ The crucial point is that we can relate with our life just as it is right now , not later when things might improve .” ~ Pema Chodron
While you are taking this little “ Loving-Life Break ”, avoid worrying about those bubbles on your “ to do ” list — they are still right there where you left them , and everything of any true importance will still get done when it needs to get done . What is truly IMPORTANT is that we regularly pause to Appreciate our lives while they are flying by … because this day is a priceless treasure , never to be repeated ; never to be re-lived .
And then , after you have chersiehd your existence for a few minutes and you head back into your everyday life — as you return to your life ’ s ever-present “ juggling act ”, feel free to remember these final two tips :
Tip # 1 : “ The trick to juggling is determining which balls are made of rubber & which are made of glass .” ~ unknown
Tip # 2 : Almost everything on your to do list is “ made of rubber ”, & every single person you encounter every single day is “ made of glass ”.
So , with that in mind , have fun BEing today — and then have some fun juggling as well .
LOVE is showing gratitude for life . … got LOVE ?
“ If a good deed I may do , if a kindness I may show to a fellow man , let me do it while I can . I will not delay , for it is plain that I shall not pass this way again .” ~ Stephen Grellet
