Crazy days... full of moments...
There are times throughout the day, when I remind myself that life is just a long string of moments... and I have to be mindful of my harmony in the MOMENTS... because that is where it all happens.
And, I notice my breathing, and the tension in my mind and in my body...
When I wish I wasn't this busy...
When I wish my business partner really knew how hard I was pushing...
When I wish my tenant wasn't sticking me with thousands of dollars unpaid and forcing eviction...
When I wish I had a little more time with my boys...
When I wish I hadn't missed this morning's workout...
When I wish I was spending a little more quality time with my wife...
And, then I realize that harmony IS REAL... and IT WORKS... and I take a deep breath.
I feel those disharmonies... in my mind, in my body...
And, then I think...
I am in the role I have always wanted to play.
I am not working for my business partner - I am working for ME and making my dreams come true. AND, he really does show me such great appreciation whenever we are together.
And, I will be with my boys this weekend, and my oldest comes home in a week.
And, I realize we will be together with great friends at a special holiday party tomorrow.
And, I remember that my tenant is a good woman, less fortunate than I am, and her situation is not her intent.
And, I can get a workout in tonight if I am really committed to it, or two tomorrow...
And, I will.
And, I smile.
And, I breathe deep again.
I am at a McDonald's where I had to interview someone this morning at 5:30 am... and when I tell them our story, my story and the journey we are on, the values that we work with, the vision that we have... people get excited... really excited... and I see HARMONY alive and well.
HARMONY works and it is so very real.
That is why GRATITUDE is so important. To be able to "self medicate" with it - and to spread it to those you know. Because GRATITUDE takes us and those we love back to the IS.
When we express gratitude... we bring people back to harmony.
Thank you for caring enough about this topic to spend time reading these "posts"... Each one is a little piece of my brain and heart - and it's truly humbling and special to share it with others.
Take deep breaths, smile, be grateful and keep self medicating with harmony ;-)
Yours in it!
