Just As I Am

today's thought

Being driven is not the same as being passionate. 
Passion is a love for the journey. 
Drive is a need to reach the destination.  ~Simon Sinek

hmmmm...

Most people
don't know
there are angels
whose only job
is to make sure
you don't
get too comfortable
&
fall asleep
&
miss your life.

one moment at a time

The past is gone, and I don’t know what’s coming in the future. 

It’s obvious that if I want my life to be whole, to resonate with feeling and integrity and value and health, there’s only one way I can influence the future: 

by owning the present. 

If I can relate

to this moment with integrity,

and then this moment with integrity,

and then this moment with integrity,

wakefully,

then the sum of that is going to be very different over time, over many moments that stretch out into what we call a life,

than a life that is lived mostly on automatic pilot, where we are reacting and being mechanical and are therefore somewhat numb.
