AFFIRMATION
I am present in all that I do and become aware that I ultimately hold
the keys to my creative abilities by enjoying each moment of my day.
As I continue to remind myself of the art of being present
in every moment, I am pleasantly surprised that in doing so I end up more in
control by actually surrendering my controlling nature. This paradox is that if I surrender control
of the moment and flow with the “is-ness” of life I can then remain in control because I allow
whatever to transpire naturally, without judgement and trust implicitly that
everything transpires for my greater good.
These freedoms to allow life to be as it is, to remain aware of your
source energy and accepting of the now, enables you to create your future in
that present moment.
Paraphrasing the words of Leo Tolstoy, he asks us to “Remember then there is only one time that
is important and that is NOW. It is
important because it is the only time that we have POWER.”
Just let these words marinate for a moment. When you think of the past, the past only
occurred in a now moment that has now become the past. When you think of your future, you only do so
in your now moment. If this is where we
have the most creative power, would it not be wise to choose what you actually
think about in your now moment? You
could choose in this moment not to automate your day as just another day, doing
the same things in a repetitive fashion.
You could choose to see this moment for what it is, with a sense of awe
and wonder, capturing every second as brand new. Your travel into work was different from
yesterday because the other cars travelling with you are new, the air you
breathe today has a different mix of components than that you had yesterday, and
your encounters with people are different from yesterday because each person is
renewed.
When you approach your world with awe and wonder, a fabulous
sense of gratitude follows quickly upon its heels. You appreciate the smallest of things, each
encounter, every word you utter, every acknowledgement you receive and in doing
so you give yourself permission to BE in that present moment with love,
gratitude and appreciation. This allows
you to get out of your head and into the now.
Take the mundane and make it fabulous.
You are not the same person you were in the last five minutes that you
took in reading this nor will you be the same person in the next five minutes.
This is where your creative power lays, the art to choose in each moment and
the power to be able to choose again.
Today I humbly ask you to appreciate the NOW of your
life. Be grateful for the air that you
breathe, the interactions you make, the support of the services that you use
(internet included), your family, and your loved ones.
The gift of life truly lies in this pre-sent moment, so
ENJOY!
