Pay Attention

Today I invite you to spend 10 minutes

 "paying attention".

Just stop what you are doing, stop moving and thinking and talking and attempting to figure things out and just "pay attention"

If you are comfortable with it you can begin with the simple statement, "God here I Am", and then wait for the response.

Don't judge how well you do, just set aside the 10 minutes and allow it to be what it will be.

It is possible, for many of you, what you will notice in those 10 minutes is just how "busy" you remain even when you are supposedly not doing anything, and that's OK.

Because you noticed it :-)

And then tomorrow I invite you to once again show up, just for 10 minutes, and pay attention again.

It is amazing what you can learn just being present and in the now for 10 minutes  - be sure to give it a try, you might like it :-)

Why Not Now?

All the joy and passion you can envision can be yours right now, rather than in a future point in time.

The time we are blessed with is limited and tends to be used up all too quickly. How we utilise that time is one of the most important decisions we make. Yet it is far too easy to put off until tomorrow what we are dreaming of today. 

The hectic pace of modern existence affords us an easy out; we shelve our aspirations so we can cope more effectively with the challenges of the present, ostensibly to have more time and leisure to realise our purpose in the future. Or we tell ourselves that we will chase our dreams someday once we have accomplished other lesser goals. In truth, it is our fear that keeps us from seeking fulfillment in the here and now—because we view failure as a possibility, our reasons for delaying our inevitable success seem sound and rational. If we ask ourselves what we are really waiting for, however, we discover that there is no truly compelling reason why we should put off the pursuit of the dreams that sustain us.







When regarded as a question, "Why not now?" drains us of our power to realise our ambitions. We are so concerned with the notion that we are somehow undeserving of happiness that we cannot see that there is much we can do in the present to begin courting it. Yet when we look decisively at our existence and state, "Why not now, indeed!" we are empowered to begin changing our lives this very moment. We procrastinate for many reasons, from a perceived lack of time to a legitimate lack of self-belief, but the truth of the matter is that there is no time like the present and no time but the present. Whatever we aim to accomplish, we will achieve it more quickly and with a greater degree of efficiency when we seize the day and make the most of the resources we have at our disposal presently.

All the joy, passion, and contentment you can envision can be yours right now, rather than in some far-flung point in time. You need only remind yourself that there is nothing standing between you and fulfillment. If you decide that today is the day you will take your destiny into your hands, you will soon discover that you hold the keys of fate.
