Quote of the day: Florence Scovel Shinn

“We must be non-resistant, poised and peaceful, expecting our good to come to pass.We are the receivers, God is the Giver, and He must create His own channels.”

Quote of the day: Lao Tzu

“Time is a created thing. To say “I don’t have time”, is like saying, “I don’t want to”. “

___Lao Tzu

🌼This quote has helped me prioritise what’s important to me ever since I first read it. Each time I catch myself saying I don’t have time, I stop and question why not. If it’s so important to me, why don’t I have the time for it? I either end up making the time for it or dropping what ever it was because…well…it is not something I will regret not doing one when I am old.

I also find that people make time for people who are important to them. If they only know you when they want something from you…well I guess you have your answer. The choice is then yours as to what you will do about it.🌼

Quote of the day: Rumi

“This moment is all there is”

___Rumi

🌼Don’t you find this concept scary? The right and right now is all that you have. As much as your plans for the future matter, they don’t matter as much as this moment right now.

If you are spending this moment trapped in past events, you can’t appreciate who and and what is in your life right now.

If you are completely caught up in your future, you can’t appreciate who and what is in your life right now.

The reality is that if you don’t appreciate this moment then you are letting life pass you by.

In this moment is love, beauty, peace, joy and, sometimes, the answers you seek, or solutions to problems you have been experiencing. In this moment. Here and Now.

This moment is all there is.🌼
