Life Is A Second-by-second Miracle.

My Dog Doesn't Worry About The Meaning Of Life. She May Worry If She Doesn't Get Her Breakfast, But She Doesn't Sit Around Worrying Whether She Will Get Fulfilled Or Liberated Or Enlightened. As Long As She Gets Some Food And A Little Affection, Her Life Is Fine. But We Human Beings Are Not Like Dogs. We Have Self-centered Minds Which Get Us Into Plenty Of Trouble. If We Do Not Come To Understand The Error In The Way We Think, Our Self-awareness, Which Is Our Greatest Blessing, Is Also Our Downfall.

Joy Is Being Willing For Things To Be As They Are.

There Are Many People In The World Who Feel That If Only They Had A Bigger Car, A Nicer House, Better Vacations, A More Understanding Boss, Or A More Interesting Partner, Then Their Life Would Work. We All Go Through That One. Slowly We Wear Out Most Of Our 'if Onlies.

We Are Just Living This Moment; We Don't Have To Live 150,000 Moments At Once. We Are Only Living One. That's Why I Say You Might As Well Practice With Each Moment.

Awareness Is Our True Self; It's What We Are. So We Don't Have To Try To Develop Awareness; We Simply Need To Notice How We Block Awareness With Our Thoughts, Our Fantasies, Our Opinions, And Our Judgments. We're Either In Awareness, Which Is Our Natural State, Or We're Doing Something Else.
