Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration
The focus for today is: I experience everything as new, in this moment.
The following is a quote from the book: Claiming Your Destiny: The Path of Life Mastery by Richard Treadgold.
The disadvantage of living too much in our minds is that we naturally define ourselves and the people and events in our lives. Once defined, we can no longer experience anything as it is each moment; we tend to experience only our definition, our mental representation.
Actually, we do not "experience" our life; we experience the emotions resulting from our beliefs. Since we are certain that the events and people around us are the cause of our emotions, the real cause -- our beliefs -- is ignored.
We are continuously comparing life to how we believe life should be. What we call our experience of life is just our reaction to the on-going comparison.
Today's Focus was inspired by the InnerSelf.com article:
