As I sit here on Christmas Eve, I am filled with such gratitude and peace.
What a great view to see life inside out, to see life from my perspective. I lived so long living for someone else; it is truly the most powerful thing to live life from your inner view!
I get to be me, which is great, for who else could I be?
What a great gift to give yourself, the gift of being you.
Free to be yourself, always.
The freedom that fills my inner world leaves me breathless. I get to be me experiencing and responding to life as me!
Eckhart Tolle suggested we face life in one of three ways. With enjoyment, enthusiasm or acceptance.
This makes life much simpler to do, especially if you are able to just wait for the present moment to arrive, open it with either enjoyment, enthusiasm or simply accept what is.
How simple to not have the desire to change anything that arrives, come beggar or thief, I accept you.
Homeless or rich, I accept this of you.
Hurting or hurtful, I accept this of you.
Loving or unloving, I accept this of you.
What I love most is I know the difference, I see the opposites and I can respond in kind.
Some of life I greet with joy, some with sorrow, but I greet each as they come. I duck from nothing anymore, I accept.
Perhaps all the presents under the tree are symbols to remind us that the present is all there is!
This present of now!
I accept!
