The power of now


Lake Constance III, originally uploaded by aremac.

So, the past week I have been pretty stressed out, between school and other things invading my mind, I have allow thoughts to take over my mind and create FEAR...which is so destructive to the soul.

E. Tolle writes, "The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately, it is not so much that you use your mind wrongly - you usually don't use it at all. It uses you. This is the disease. You believe that you are your mind. This is the delusion. The instrument has taken you over."

So, the key is to see this as an illusion. Stop the pattern of over thinking..and be quiet...also, be aware....

This photo allows me to be still...maybe it helps you too?

    Ah. Very good. Those challenges that you have been facing have helped you to be the strong, fearless, and determined person that you are. I could not imagine you any way other. You are a leader in your own life, which means you are a leader in ours as well.
