Did I take the time to really listen to someone today, with rapt attention,
as if nothing else mattered in that precious moment but the words they spoke and the look in their eyes?

Did I allow myself to focus on all the blessings in my life today instead of contemplating the things I don’t have?

Did I take a moment to imagine what I would like to experience in my life,
if for no other reason than in the imagining, is the living, and in the living, comes the joy and delight?

Did I let go today, let go of resentments and unforgivingness that I have been holding onto, all the while realizing that another person may be wounded too and struggling with their own pain?

Did I keep my word today, no matter how simple a promise I may have made, knowing it meant a whole lot to someone else?

Did I make a conscious choice just to be happy today, no matter what is happening in my own life, just for the next moment, and the next moment and the next?

Did I stop caring about what other people think of me, and give myself permission to be who I am regardless of their good opinion of me or not?
Did I set myself free today just by doing that?

Was I successful in noticing and appreciating the bounty before me
wherever I went or was I just too busy or lost in my own thoughts
to notice?

Did I contribute something beautiful to the world today?
A new creation of some kind, a poem, a dinner, a dance?

Was I kind today to anyone or anything that crossed my path,
no matter how trivial or how monumental? Did I give away my heart?

Is one person richer because of me today, because of my presence on the planet, my essence, my decision to keep on going no matter what?

Did I learn something new today, something about life, something about myself, something about another that I didn’t know before?

Did I let go of my attachment to being right today, and open my mind to the possibility of another way, without judgement?

Will someone sleep better tonight because of me?
Will they awaken in the morning believing in themselves again,
and walk with their head held high?

Was I the answer to someone’s prayers today?

If today was to be my last day on the planet,
would I feel happy about how I lived it?

I felt deeply saddened as I watched him walk away slowly, his step without purpose, his body weary. He was still living and breathing, but no longer fully alive and I found myself thinking these words as he disappeared into the distance…

How many ways to die, My Love?

Every time we stop thinking we can.
Every time we deny who we really are,
Or what we truly could be.

Like owning a mansion and opening the front door,
But never going inside any of the other rooms,
For fear of what we might find there.

How sad there are no funerals for the Walking Dead.
No corpse to bury. No tears to shed.
No final moment of glory.
No words of comfort, that might stir our soul onto life… At lasting.

How do we recognize each other?
By what we have in common.
A book unwritten - A song unsung - A play unplayed
A child unborn - A world unseen
A love not given, or worse not taken.

So many miscarriages, never a birth.
So many excuses, never a reason.

Often our path in life is like a walk through a graveyard, on a summer’s day,
It feels warm and cosy, but it’s dead there.

How much longer before we wake up?

Some of us die a thousand times each day,
Remembering not to live.

How many ways to die, My Love?
Far too many, indeed.

How many ways to live, My Love?
Only One …Passionately!

Here are some possible reasons why. Perhaps you can relate to some of them.

1. You’re stuck in the “pay off”. What is the pay off for staying where you are now. I knew of a woman who complained constantly that her husband never paid any attention to her. She was diagnosed with cancer and all of a sudden her husband was at her side, tending to her every need. Shortly thereafter, she became cancer free and her husband went back to his old ways, much to her dismay. Months later, the cancer was back and so was her husband. My point: you may be saying that your desire is to be wealthy, but if wealth is not showing up in your life, then take a good look at “what is”. There may be some clues there as to why.

2. You’re afraid to hurt or lose someone you love. Who would you hurt / lose if you suddenly became rich? Would you be making more money than your parents did and would that offend or hurt them in some way? Would you be in an entirely different financial bracket from your friends and feel that they would resent you or even worse, abandon you?

3. You’re addicted to the drama. You complain about the struggle but you re-live it over and over again. Does it make you feel alive, on some level? A friend of mine recently became debt free and when I asked how that made him feel, he told me that he felt empty inside. No struggle, no drama, no reason for living. Unfortunately, that is true for many of us. How about you?

4. You still have feelings of “not good enough”. Have you ever felt like a small child standing outside of a candy store. You look in the window at all of that candy just waiting there to be devoured, but you don’t feel like you will ever be able to walk inside that door and take it. You see others going in and out of the candy store, but you feel it could never happen for you.

5. You feel safe “playing small”. Playing small is comfortable. Playing big would require you to move out of your comfort zone. It may require that you put yourself out there and that can be a scary thing. Are you ready to, as they say, feel the fear and do it anyway?

6. You believe that “money is bad and / or evil”. This belief is reinforced by the media at every turn. It would be hard to escape not feeling just a little like this. However, it may serve you well to remember that Mother Teresa created lots of money, without which she would not have been able to accomplish what she did and change the world. Think about that.

7. You “get in your own way”. You decide to move forward towards your dreams, you set some financial goals, you begin to feel hopeful, and then you sabotage yourself at every turn, with your thoughts, words and deeds, which are totally contrary to what you have chosen. The sad thing is that you probably don’t even realize that you are doing it.

And you are not quite sure how to change it.

From Veronica Hay - The Prosperity Poet and The Insights and Inspirations Hub

With this kind of thinking, to tell you the truth, I did not even want to get out of bed. Overwhelm does that to you. It is paralyzing.

So, I decided to have a small chat with myself. What if, I just made the decision to take it easy today?  As usual, I have been working long hours and trying to do too much. It just wears me down after a while.  But, what if today, I made the choice of ease.

Then, I decided to work on only those things that really had to be done, promises I made to customers waiting etc and to do these things in a more gentle way. No rushing, no stress! Simply EASE, as though I really did have all the time in the world.

As soon as I made that choice, I felt so much lighter and things immediately started to improve everywhere.

It feels so much better physically as well, to just work from a light, easy and joyful place, rather than rushing to get things done as fast as possible, moving onto the next thing, and the next thing, and the next thing, on our “to do” list, with our body tense, anxious and tight. Nothing good can really come from that healthwise.

I also decided that If I felt like crying, that was fine as well, I didn’t stuff it inside or put it off,  telling myself I was just too busy to cry. I simply cried and it moved right through me, and in a little while I was fine again. I think that crying can be a good thing, a releasing and cleansing experience.

Amazingly, after a while, I began to see all the blessings in my life right where I am NOW, and I was able to really appreciate those things in a much more profound way and SEE them from a fresh and different perspective.

And I had a great insight, the FEELING of EASE and the FEELING of ABUNDANCE are exactly the same thing.  As long as I am feeling light and easy, I am much more likely to have an abundant day and a fulfilling life.
