As we keep on keeping on; we must remember to pay attention. What does paying attention mean? It means that we are aware of every moment that is occurring right in front of us. When we pay attention we realize that we are capturing real life. We see the nuances of life that pass us by if we are not fully aware and in the moment. Being in the moment is nothing more than paying attention.
Our thoughts are easily distracted. Have you ever tried to hold a single thought for one minute? Try it and you will find that unless you are very focused and determined your thoughts will roam like a young child. It can be very difficult yet it can be achieved. For me, it can at times seem as if I'm trying to rope flies. I have to continually remind myself to pay attention so that I can enjoy the fullness of the thought. When you are paying attention to your thoughts it is really a tremendous experience. There is a oneness that you feel because you are fully aware and in the moment.
Pay attention today. If you do, I promise, you will see and hear a whole new world and most important, you will hear, see and feel a new you.
Until the next time,
Peaceful thoughts,
