The magical RIGHT NOW

When we are feeling as though life is full of confusion, regret of the past or fear of the future; the one constant we have with us is right now. Right now it is possible to drift away into our imagination and discover within our souls all that is magical and can make us feel alive in any given moment. No matter what we have done or think will happen down the road there is no truth to any of it right now. We can however be certain that rivers are flowing, days will turn to nights, seasons will change and the sun will rise and fall. If we just take a moment to see that the world is consistently moving, growing and changing we are certain to do all of these things right along with it. Taking life as it comes instead of dreading the future or worrying about yesterday will leave us to do nothing but stay in the magical time of right now.

Right now we can forgive ourselves and others, change one particular thought that rattles us or find a little bit of hope in the natural beauty that surrounds us. In our great imagination we can dive head first into the flowing river of happiness. Take in the breathtaking transition of the night stars taking place of the billowy white clouds of the day. Just as the beautiful green leaves of spring and summer change into the amazing brown, orange and red of the fall; we can change a thought in order to evolve. Faith, understanding and energy will allow us to rise like the sun on a crystal clear morning. With confidence and self assurance let us enjoy the magic of RIGHT NOW.

Step Toward Awareness

Any day will be beautiful when we begin it with the simple words THANK YOU. We will soon realize that each day is a lifetime in itself, when we can seize moments that will make us feel alive at any given time. We can learn to be present and accept the situations in our lives as steps toward awareness, to see ourselves in everything and everyone around us. Allowing into our hearts, minds and souls the magic that each of us carry within. More importantly, we will discover that our own individual awareness will allow for anyone else to feel alive as well. When we let go of our fears and insecurities, we will see that each of us can illuminate the world around us with our presence alone.

The Universe never stands still, in every moment something new is being discovered and from the dawn of time all things are created for the purpose of being revealed. Everyone has their own unique purpose in the ever changing world around them; by looking into the past or too far into the future we will have an enormous amount of trouble seeing the beauty around us right now. Let us not take for granted the sunrises and sunsets, the tiny little seeds that will someday blossom into a breathtaking bed of flowers or the sparkle in the eyes of a curious child. An understanding smile of admiration can lift the spirits of someone that is stuck in a moment that they can't comprehend and allows us to start over in that moment. A song can touch our soul, allowing us to breakout into a moment of freedom that can lift us to extraordinary new heights. Say THANKS at any given time and step toward awareness, allowing the great mystery of our dreams to unfold before our eyes.

Abundant sources of Inspiration

There are abundant sources of inspiration to be found throughout our lives. All we have to do is turn our thoughts toward the idea of being inspired and allowing our actions to inspire others. The wonderful and simple fact of this is that we never need to go out of our way or look to justify them, we just need to allow them to flow into our world. We can discover much about ourselves by letting go of fear that makes us feel inadequate or different from others; understand that everyone has great gifts to offer one another. Without even knowing it our simple words and actions may cause a stir in anyone at anytime, binding us to our common source of energy that keeps humanity flowing.

We are granted a great choice of who and what we hold onto in our lives, keeping this in mind we can allow ourselves to be open to any and all possibilities. In times when we struggle to figure out what will happen next or we are holding on to what has happened in the past, each of us is capable of discovering in this precise moment a source of inspiration that will snap us out of it. Allowing our imagination to guide us we can envision beautiful sunrises over the vast ocean crest, see the world around us with the curiosity and innocence of a child or find in our souls a smile to brighten the day of someone else. Today let us jump into life to find inspiration and more importantly take one small action to inspire another. Share the magic that is within each of us and be in awe of the abundant sources of inspiration.
