Remember, Now is the only place from which true answers can eventually emerge. The present moment is your true home, prior to time and space. It is all there is; the calm in the midst of the storm. The real problem begins when we start ruminating on our pain, our sadness, our fears, our anger; brooding over our discomforts, rewinding and fast-forwarding the movie of our lives! We add an unnecessary layer of rumination and resistance to life, and this creates suffering.
Meet the moment on its own terms; see it all as a gift. Show up, for the pleasant and unpleasant, the pleasurable and the painful, without an agenda.

The fears which you see all around you, which the media and the noisy world constantly bombard you with are really created by your mind. We cover it up with sticky plaster but that will only hold for a while, then the entire system will collapse.
Let us be happy for those who are following their passion and taking action thus having success. Let us find joy in what others are doing and celebrate them.
