Each moment of each day is added creation. We, are a people partaking
in that effort, procreating with every breath we take... adding to the
creative forces in our uniquely ordained ways.
If you could,
take a moment to consider, that all life from the beginning of time has
come up to this moment, inside of you... inside of each of us. All of
creation has come up to this moment! It is amazing how far we've come
not only as a people but as a world. The possibility that nothing
exists beyond this moment seems impossible but in fact, as we evolve
throughout this day, we are actively advancing through and with
creation process, becoming the history of tomorrow.
By living
deliberately, we consciously bring the past forward and compare it to
prior knowledge, experience and ways of responding, so that we can
determine how best to meld it with the present experience. Once we have
responded, it is good to take a moment to reflect on what we have
contributed to the new day, hour... moment. Living deliberately is the
way in which we pause and consider how to positively impact our
contribution to the next moment. It is so important for us all to
realize that we are each woven together and my contribution and yours
will directly impact each of our living experiences on a grand scale.
When
we fall short of living deliberately, we DEFAULT to a subconscious
living experience by responding based on our current state of survival
which is simply our past brought forward. This leaves us to responding
based on preconditioned behaviors, ideas, traditions and comforts. Some
of these ways may be fine to live by but not so fine to develop and
grow by (thrive). Slowing down or stretching the band with of time
prior to making a decision in life or what is known as taking the next
step, we give ourselves the opportunity to weigh the pros and cons of
that next step. I like to say, this gives us a clearer vantage point on
the circumstance we are faced with enabling us to weigh the appropriate
and most effective response to the situation.
Doing this takes
patience and grace given to ourselves and by the 'body', all of us. I
challenge and encourage each of us to pursuit the passion of full
participation in this our life creation. Living out your purpose in
awareness with a conscious response to today will add to all of our
abilities to thrive in this place in which we survive.
