The most important thing we do.
|
|
We live in a world of action; we can't escape that. Action is what gets things done; action maintains our bodies in good health; action provides our daily bread. Our actions, however, are frequently affected by worries and influenced by misleading assumptions that stem from our aimless self-reflection. It is our undisciplined and relentless mind that produces an irresponsible or base behavior induced by irrational fears, which originate in non-existent sources or situations. Reality is warped by the wandering mind; reality is not what we think. Thus, the most important thing we do is to discipline our minds to focus on reality as it is now. It is interesting to note that human beings have the uncanny ability to ignore the obvious. Although all sages from the beginning of time have stressed the importance of having presence of mind, we refuse to see the necessity of it. We refuse to see what it can do for us. To try to simplify something rather complex I would say that it does three things for us: Physically speaking presence can even save our lives by making us aware of what is coming at us; mentally it will eliminate stress because stress dwells either in a non-existent future or a past that we refuse to let go; and spiritually it will help us to see that we are never separate from the Source. Now, it is true that I don't know anybody that can be mindful at all times, but just trying our best (just our best) makes a big difference. And with a disciplined mind comes equanimity and inner balance whether we have or have not. And bear in mind that "having" and "having not" are always subject to change.

| His disciples said to Him , "when will the kingdom come?"
And The Christ said: "It will not come by waiting for it. It will not come by a matter of saying 'here it is' or 'there it is'! Rather the kingdom of the father is spread out upon the earth and men do not see it." Thank you for your comments! S (Rio) Guzman www.rioguzman.com |

| Sitting at home surfing the net. I began to feel like I am useless. In spite of everything I sat out to do everything just about all fail. I looked up into the ceiling and ask God what am I good for. So browsing the net I ran across a blog. This blog was so inspiring to me and I want to share it with you all. No matter what the circumstances are or the condition that you find yourself in Don't Give, Don't be Ashamed if no one acknowledges who you are and what you can do Don't Hate Them Never withdrawal yourself from anything you set out to do. But just remember this If No one can use you there is someone who can and that is God How do I know you ask? Just read this When you least think that God can't use you just remember this Noah was a drunk Abraham was too old Isaac was a daydreamer Jacob was a liar Leah was ugly Joseph was abused Moses had a stuttering problem Gideon was afraid Samson had long hair and was a womaizer Rahab was a prostitute Jeremiah and Timothy were too young David had an affair and was a murderer Elijah was suicidal Jonah ran from God Namoi was a widow Job went bankrupt Peter denied Christ The Disciples fell asleep while praying Maratha worried about everything The Samaritan woman was divorced more thatn once Zaccheus was too small Paul was too religious Timothy had an ulcer and Lazurus was dead Now no more excuses God can use you to your full potential Besides you aren't the message you are just the messenger.
