Just some thoughts



When we stop trying to be what we are not, we realize our authenticity. 
.
Before we had knowledge, we were completely authentic. 
.
We learn to use knowledge to measure and judge.
.
In fact every day we are measuring and judging. 
.
Unfortunately we then go and create an image of perfection in our minds. 
.
An image of what we should be.
.
But are not. 
.
We replace knowledge for a harmony with nature. 
.
We believe in the lie of our imperfection.
.
For some of us they can move on and understand that we are as we are. 
.
When we realize this we can reclaim the truth of our perfection and live in love and acceptance.
.
So practice being non-judgemental. 
.
Realise that the same part of your mind that condemns you is the same voice that caused you to take that action in the first place!
.
We don’t even have to believe what we say to ourselves.
.
How many times do we count our misfortunes rather than our blessings? 
.
When we take time to open our eyes to the miracle of life we can see the many gifts that have been given to us. 
.
Remembering all the beautiful aspects of life and all the reasons you are blessed can immediately shift our mood. 
.
We can move from sorrow and despair to appreciation and hope.
.
Each time you find yourself complaining about something, re-direct your focus to something you are grateful for. 
.
Make a habit of transforming your awareness of troubles into an awareness of abundance.
.
Perfection is not when there is nothing to add.
.
But when there is nothing more to take away. 
.
True mastery of our lives is realising the simple joys of life.
.
Removing distractions and clutter from our lives.
.
The art of simplicity is knowing what to take away. 
.
Practice recognising when you’re spending your time on unimportant tasks and re-focus on the important.
.
Notice when you avoid doing what is more important.
.
Notice and become conscious as to why you do this.
.
Meet it head on and change this pattern.
.
Have courage to change.
.
After all it is your own life we are talking about.
.
And how do you want this to be?
.
As it is now?
.
Or maybe with a few improvements?
.
Your call!
