Live Today

So this weeks’ post might seem like a bit of worn out information but I think it is something to reflect on regularly as it does contain truth.

Us human beings are result and goal oriented creatures who love to be rewarded when we accomplish a task. At least I know I do, maybe you feel the same. But it isn’t unusual to demonise ourselves when we falter and slip up for a moment. I don’t know why exactly, maybe we feel ashamed of ourselves or feel like we have let everyone else down.

These feelings don’t sit well with us and worst of all, can cause a response of inaction to present or future matters. I want with this post to remind myself and you that we are all human beings are none of us perfect. But despite that, we can still do incredible things, even if we go through bouts of self doubt or regret.

Something like this happened to me yesterday, I didn’t do any of my mindfulness or consciousness exercises, although I did meditate which was a small victory in of itself considering the circumstances. But I did get the nagging feeling like I didn’t do what I should have done and that made me feel bad. But writing to you now, I don’t feel the same way anymore, instead I appreciate the fact that I didn’t do all that I could have yesterday but that doesn’t stop me from getting it done today. I want you to read the next line below a couple of times until it sinks into your memory, or maybe put it into your quote book.

Don’t let yesterday’s failings rob the lustre of today.

Remember there are enough external judges out there in the world who will cast scathing sentences down on you, but don’t let your own mind be a persecutor against yourself; the reason why is, those external judges only have limited enough to base their decision, however you have the all information about yourself, so you can lay down the most brutal of judgements.

We all slip, we all fall, deciding to get up, is what moves mountains.

My Hedites, do not despair, keep on fighting the fight of your life, the tides will turn.
