In the quiet of your mind, in the silence of your thoughts,
you can be completely with the moment. There is no judgement in the present:
the presence of your mind simply allows you to drift through, second by second.
In each second, a murmuring of thoughts or ideas can rush to
you, consume you, engulf you; or you can choose to acknowledge the burst and
see it wash over you, or pass you by like a cloud in the sky. See each thought
as a gift to yourself: the process of thought is one that only you can control,
and is yours to accept and allow to pass by without judgement; or one to hold
on to and keep. It is not for I nor another to tell you how to use this
thought, it is not for me to tell you how that thought will affect your whole
Self.
The gift is not really in the thought, but in the deed of
your own action, and the consequences once the choice has been made.
The gift is not in
the action, but in your own Self, because you are your own thoughts, you are
your own deeds, you are your own consciousness.
The gift is your life, of which You Are. You are the Life,
you are your own Truth, you own your own Path.
As you live each day, be the one you long to be. Be the
kindness you want to see in others; be the love you want to feel. Love yourself
unconditionally as you love others. Be as gentle with yourself as you would be
with a newborn baby, and feel that soft connection of who you are within. Walk each moment knowing that you have created
that step in your whole self, putting one foot in front of the other, as well as the steps in
your mind as you act out your thoughts and decisions. Just be.
So in each passing moment, be accepting of who you are just
in that second, holding no judgement of the thoughts that come to mind, but
live it knowing that these thoughts are the essence of who you are.
