In this video I would like to talk about more on the now, more about the present moment. You see each moment is a fresh beginning for us, it comes with the gift which enables us the opportunity to have a new beginning or a fresh start.
It enables us to make the right choice. Many times things go wrong in our life, say we have an argument at home with our partner or maybe with a family member and we carry this anger within us for days, sometimes maybe weeks. We are not normal with them anymore, we always have this thing within us, which doesn’t allow us to be ourselves.
The same at the workplace we could either be angry with our boss or senior colleagues because they always interfere in the way we do things. We could have conflicts with our neighbours, friends.. It can happen anytime.
But what is it that happens after the conflict, whats happens is we carry this memory and create a lot of anger, or we either think of ourselves as some kind of victim because of whatever is happened.
But lets think of it this way, say life is a process ok.. So everything that happens in our life it happens in processes. We have the cycles of day to night with is a process, we have our breakfast then there is a process of digestion, we have lunch etc.
So everything works in processes in life. So lets take an example… If there are a bunch of scientists doing some kind of experiment, and say something goes wrong. Do they abandon their work for weeks? or a year? do they get angry about that experiment and not try it out again? No they do not do that.
Another example say you are baking a cake at home and something goes wrong, it doesn’t turn out to be the way you had expected, do you stop baking cakes all together? no, what we do is we learn from that process. When something goes wrong we learn from it. In the case of the scientists they will learn what went wrong and they will start all over again. Same with the cake, yes we may not bake a new cake the very same day but we are better equipped for the next opportunity.
So it is the same with the conflicts that take place in our life. Lets treat it as a process, lets think of it as something went wrong in that process of communication and lets learn from that, lets not carry it as something we need to create anger about of feel victimized about. Lets learn from it and lets move ahead and we have the now with us, the now that gives us the opportunity to make a fresh start, to learn from the past and do something beautiful in the present.
The now enables us to make the right choice, it gives us the power to be happy right now, it gives us the power to be content, to be self fulfilled, to live in joy, to greet people with the right energy, to wish others well, it is this power within.
But then if we use the now to create anger, to carry burden of the past, to be worried to feel victimized, then we are wasting the opportunity of now. Whatever has happened in the past think of it as a process, think about it as something you learn from. And now you have the opportunity to start the process all over again in a better way in a more informed manner.
Lets choose happiness, lets choose to be content, lets choose to be satisfied with our lives, lets choose to educate ourselves by thinking positively about life. Anger fear worry is taking us no where only making us weaker and weaker mentally. It is not helping us to cherish this gift that the now gives us.
We are always attached and lost with all these wrong thinking patterns. So lets wake up to the now. lets know that this is a life filled with processes which we can learn from. Lets be conscious in the now. Lets invite consciousness to help us detach from wrong thinking patterns, from wrong belief systems.
Lets make that fresh start, lets opt for this new beginning in our life. Whether it is our relationships, whether it is at our workplace, whether is our hobby, whether it is choice about your health, a choice about your diet.
This is the now. This is where the power exists. Where you have the choice to do something right. And practice conscious living by being self aware which will help you to detach from all wrong belief systems and help you to find your true self and will let your mind to derive your sense of self from limited aspects of processes.
I wish you well, Think of life as a process. Everything that goes wrong is a process that has gone wrong and you can learn from it and begin all over again. So lets choose happiness, lets choose fulfillment, lets choose to be positive about everything in life. The now is a beautiful opportunity we have as within us is life itself. If we are in touch with our true self that is a glimpse of what joy, peace and stability is.
