One day at a time

I am lost.

People say you have to live one day at a time. Moment by moment. But what for?Just to go to work, come back home, eat, sleep and the next morning go to work again? Is it fair? Are we suppose to experience joy and be happy in all this process? In this life routine? Or maybe we should look deeper what’s in it? See beyond that? See beyond the life situation and beyond your position in this society? There is something more than that. It always was. It’s just too hard to go and see it.

Most of us live on the surface of the Self when all the miracles happen inside of us. We just need to go there and experience them. But how? Very often our life situations put a huge shield on that fragile and thin layer of peace, on the gates leading to another world. The world that is beyond the time, beyond the space, and beyond the hopes. You won’t experience it unless you be in it. And in order to be in it we ALL need to stop thinking, to stop letting our Egos to control us. Life is way much more than that!!!!! It’s inside us…Let’s go there and stay there.

One step at a time!

The Power of Now

By jurgita

When you are full of problems, there is no room for anything new to enter, no room for a solution. So, whenever you can, make some room, create some space, so that you find the life underneath your life situation.

Use your senses fully. Be where you are. Look around. Just look, don’t interpret. See the light, shapes, colors, textures. Be aware of the space that allows everything to be. Listen to the sounds; don’t judge them. Listen to the silence underneath the sounds. Touch something – anything – and feel and acknowledge its Being. Observe the rhythm of your breathing; feel the air flowing in and out, feel the life energy inside your body. Allow everything to be, within and without. Allow the “isness” of all things. Move deeply into the Now. (The Power of Now By Eckhart Tolle)

Why not?

There’s nothing I have to do

There is nothing I have to have, there’s nothing I have to do, and there’s nothing I have to be, except exactly what I’m being right now. (Conversations with God By Neale Donald Walsch)

State of True Wakefulness

By jurgita

When you stop in this state, simply stop in your tracks, stop going where you are going, stop doing what you are doing, just stop for a moment, and just “be” right where you are, you become right, exactly where you are. Stopping even just for a moment, can be blessed. You look around, slowly, and you notice things you did not notice while you were passing them by. The deep smell of the earth just after it rains. That curl of hair over the left ear of your beloved. How truly good it feels to see a child at play.

When you walk in this state, you breath in every flower, you fly with every bird, you feel every crunch beneath your feet. You find beauty and wisdom. For wisdom is found wherever beauty is formed. And beauty is formed everywhere, out of all the stuff of life. You do not have to seek it. It will come to you.

This is the state of true wakefulness.

A smile can take you there. A simple smile. Just stop everything for one moment, and smile. At nothing. Just because it feels good. Just because your heart knows a secret. And because your soul knows what the secret is. Smile at that. Smile a lot. It will cure whatever ails you.

Breath. Breath long and deep. Breath slowly and gently. Breath in the soft, sweet nothingness of life, so full of energy, so full of love. It is God’s love that you are breathing. Breath deeply, and you can feel it. Breath very, very deeply, and the love will make you cry.

For joy.

Everything you do, you do for yourself!

By jurgita

Picture By dudzio

Everything in life depends on what you are seeking to be. If, for instance, you are seeking to be One with all others, you will find yourself behaving in a very specific way – a way which allows you to experience and demonstrate your Oneness. And when you do certain things as a result of this, you will not experience that you are doing something for someone else, but rather, that you are doing it for yourself.

The same will be true no matter what you are seeking to be. If you are seeking to be love, you will do loving things with others. Not for others, but with others.

Notice the difference. You will be doing loving things with others for your Self – so that you can actualize and experience your grandest idea about your Self and Who You Really Are.

You’re not playing or pretending. You are being in it.

You are a human being. And what you are being is decided and chosen by you!

Christmas…

By jurgita

Christmas is a necessity. There has to be at least one day of the year to remind us that we’re here for something else besides ourselves. ~Eric Sevareid

Merry Christmas!

Let things come naturally

By jurgita

The harder you try, the harder you struggle. It’s wiser to let things come naturally. The power you have is like magnetic force. You can pull to you whatever you want. In pushing, you tend to move things away from you!

You never know what you have until you lose it

By jurgita

Picture by terojee

Why can’t we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn’t work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos. ~Charles M. Schulz

Write regularly

By jurgita

Have you ever heard the saying: “if you want to be a writer – write.” That’s right. You don’t need to be very smart to know that. The same is with dancers, doctors, actors, teachers, and whatever profession you take. Can you imagine a teacher who never had a pupil, or a person who calls himself a dancer but he never danced in his life? That doesn’t make sense, does it?

The same is with writing. How can you expect to be a writer if don’t write, or you’re trying to find a reason how to postpone your writing, or if you have other (more important) things to do. No, no and no. If writing is your priority, then WRITE! Everything else can wait.

Let’s make a deal, for the next three weeks you must write for at least twenty minutes every day. Weekends included! No days off for three weeks. Just sit and write. Don’t look for excuses, and don’t complain that you are not feeling like writing. Just do it! Twenty minutes for writing. It doesn’t matter what you write: stories that you heard at work, dialogs, your feelings, crazy thoughts, or imagined tale. Come back to your childhood. Maybe you will find an adventure there that you would like to share, or maybe you’ll remember what is like to be a child again. Share your feelings. Don’t worry about who will read your story, you are writing for yourself now. You don’t even have to complete it. Just write!

There is no number of how many minutes you have to write every day. (This will be after three weeks:) If you see that you can easily handle more than twenty minutes, don’t stop yourself. I remember when I started to write I spent about 2 hours everyday. Then I had to shorten my writing time to 1 hour because I got involved in something else. But writing, no matter what, is always my priority. I know that if you keep writing every day and you will make it your priority soon you will find your system that works for you.

Deal is a deal! Three weeks, twenty minutes every day! No days off!!!
