Each Day

Each Day

Be careful.

  Take care.

    Love the life you have.

Be mindful.

  Cultivate joy

    Love the life you live.

Be alert.

  Nourish awareness.

    Love the moment that is here.

And all good will follow.

~~~

Each day is the opportunity to be your true self.

Who is showing up with this breath?

Who are you? Really? Really??

Who is the you that is showing up?

Is it the one that society approves of

or the one that follows deep truths

that lie beyond social strictures?

Can you allow your creative expression

to be beyond outcomes,

to give without consideration of approval,

to live your infinite flow of being?

Then you are living your true self.

“All you need is already within you, only you must approach your self with reverence and love. Self-condemnation and self-distrust are grievous errors. Your constant flight from pain and search for pleasure is a sign of love you bear for your self, all I plead with you is this: make love of your self perfect. Deny yourself nothing -- glue your self infinity and eternity and discover that you do not need them; you are beyond.” ― Nisargadatta Maharaj

“Wisdom is knowing I am nothing,
Love is knowing I am everything,
and between the two my life moves.”
― Nisargadatta Maharaj
