Wait A Moment? No BE In The Moment

Article Overview: It seems no matter who I talk to lately, they are either living “dangerously” in the past or wishing and hoping for “something” tomorrow.

Wait A Moment? No BE In The Moment

It seems no matter who I talk to lately, they are either living "dangerously" in the past or wishing and hoping for "something" tomorrow.

While it is always a sound strategy to have a well thought out and documented plan for the future, you must invest time in the moment before you can ever move ahead in your life.

The Buddha said, "If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change".

When was the last time you looked at anything with pure, open eyes and an unblemished spirit? When was the last time you slowed down and felt a warm feeling of happiness, serenity and peace?

There is a way that you can find serenity, peace and happiness in today's stressed out world. There are some outstanding books available today that will help you to awaken your self and expand your awareness of the world.

You were born into the world with an innocent mind and a pure, unblemished, open spirit. You had no prejudice, no preconceived notions, no anger or fear. But, over time, the pressures and opinions of society clouded your eyes and mind to others.

REMEMBER, WE ARE ALL FROM THE SAME PARENTS...

In 2006, a world-wide study was sponsored by National Geographic, IBM and others that captured DNA data from tens of thousands of volunteers. The analysis of the data determined that all human beings, no matter where they live today, what their status in life is, or their color, race and religion, are descended from two individuals in the East Central area of Africa that lived only 60,000 years ago. Just as a frame of reference, the Earth is 4.54 BILLION years old. They have been able, through scientific DNA analysis, to identify key genetic markers that show how the offspring of these two individuals, our ancestors, migrated across the planet.

In conclusion, the results show that we are all from the same "parents". Yet we continue to gravitate toward beliefs that are selfish and self centered instead of showing empathy and compassion to others.

BUT WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO PEACE, LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING?

In the world as we know it, happiness, serenity and peace are elusive treasures. Stress, anxiety, and increased rudeness in society are piled on you and weigh you down, suffocating you. You are bombarded with bad news by the media twenty-four hours a day about violence, crashing economies, stories of genocide and prejudice. Not to mention the ongoing threat of terrorism.

No matter what happened in the past or your current circumstances, age, wealth, current status in life, you can start on a journey through simple meditation, selfless love and service and find your own serenity, peace and happiness in today's stressed out world.

It is said that Michelangelo saw in every rough block of stone a thing of beauty awaiting his master hand to bring it into reality. Even so, within each and every one of us, there sleeps a divine image awaiting the master hand of faith and the chisel of patience to bring it into view.

When you experience serenity you will be serene, calm and free of storms.

You will have freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts or emotions, harmony in personal relationships.

The power of your spirit will be immense.

My life has changed sooooo drastically (within 1 yr) since my introduction to these laws (newborn on the way, wife, house, new job, leaving hometown, etc). Plus, understand that these laws are NOT NEW. You have been using them the whole time unconsciously!! Wait till you put conscious/guided effort into your affirmations. Then the miracles begin!!
Re: 7 Strange Japanese Inventions - Wait a minute, the "Japanese smile" is itself a kind of mask! So now we have a mask behind a mask with a smile (or grimace or hideous grin) on the face of it (the mask). Talking of masks and faces, have you read the novel The Face Of Another by Japanese novelist Kobo Abe? It is all about how a man loses his face in a lab accident, and has a life-like face mask made... an exploration of face and identity...
To Delegate or Not To Delegate - On another thread, mphcoach shared a list of levels of delegation. On this thread I have a question about the lowest level of delegation. This is a description of this amount of delegation "Level 1 is the lowest level of delegated freedom (basically none). Level 10 is the highest level typically (and rarely) found in organisations. 1 "Wait to be told." or "Do exactly what I say." or "Follow these instructions precisely." When we work with people who need this sort of oversight, how much of our time do we spend keeping tabs on them? Some people never seem to get past this point. In other words, they always need someone to watch over their shoulder and watch every move. How long can we afford to keep this sort of person on the team? That will differ with what you actually need this person to do. It also makes a difference whether they are onsite or a virtual assistant or freelancers. I know people who want to be freelancers, but they need this sort of direction with each project they handle. Is it cost efficient to work with this sort of person? Shri
