Being In The Moment Means

The Deepest Hunger In Life Is A Secret That Is Revealed Only When A Person Is Willing To Unlock A Hidden Part Of The Self. In The Ancient Traditions Of Wisdom, This Quest Has Been Likened To Diving For The Most Precious Pearl In Existence, A Poetic Way Of Saying That You Have To Swim Far Out Beyond Shallow Waters, Plunge Deep Into Yourself, And Search Patiently Until The Pearl Beyond Price Is Found.

As You Focus On Simplifying Your Life, Make Sure That Your Approach To The Process Is A Loving And Accepting One. Know That You Are Doing All That You Can Do Right Now, And That Is All Anyone Can Do.

We Live In The Age Of The Higher Brain, The Cerebral Cortex That Has Grown Enormously Over The Last Few Millennia, Overshadowing The Ancient, Instinctive Lower Brain. The Cortex Is Often Called The New Brain, Yet The Old Brain Held Sway In Humans For Millions Of Years, As It Does Today In Most Living Things. The Old Brain Can't Conjure Up Ideas Or Read. But It Does Possess The Power To Feel And, Above All, To Be. It Was The Old Brain That Caused Our Forebears To Sense The Closeness Of A Mysterious Presence Everywhere In Nature.

Success Is The Ability To Meet Worthy Goals, But It's Also The Ability To Love And Have Compassion And The Ability To Get In Touch With Your Creative Center, To Transform Yourself Toward More Peaceful And Just Pursuits. I Hope We Redefine Success. Otherwise, We'll See More Of What We're Already Seeing - More Aggression, More Burnout, More Wall Street Scandals, More War, More Terrorism, More Eco-destruction.

What We Don't Recognize Is That Holding Onto Resentment Is Like Holding Onto Your Breath. You'll Soon Start To Suffocate.
