It Is Always Now!

Movies intrigue us for various reasons. One of the primary reasons is that movies reflect human nature. They span many areas of our lives: personal relationships, the future, what history teaches, the search for truth and so on.

What is truth? I have observed that it is pretty much what each individual concludes for themselves. Which is why I am calling truth “illusive.” So this week I am taking 3 movies that revolve around three different nuances of truth. What might they teach us? Here I share what I have found.

We try. We fail. Then what do we do? Say, “Poor me” and quit? Say, “Well at least I am better than those people over there!” and gloat?

Or…. Let’s look at  another option….

Here is a little quote from Albert Einstein to get this rolling:  “If at first, the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.” I think he is referring to our tendency to dismiss something new without really giving it a chance.So, I hope you find my idea at least a bit absurd. Because I have found from my own experience that there is hope for it.

In this podcast I share a few of my favorite travel moments and how they have inspired me to look at life in a more mindful way. When we encounter and engage with something unfamiliar to us – like another culture – we can see through their eyes. By doing this our lives become more rich and rewarding.

The concept of “journaling” goes far beyond writing in a book with blank pages. There are numerous ways to “record our experiences, ideas, and reflections.” The more of these ways we engage in – the more complete and gratifying our  connection with the world around us and our understanding of self.

For the next few minutes, let’s explore some of these options. So far I have come up with 9. I am sure you can think of even more!

Life Lessons on the Greenbelt. Meditation can take many forms. The Eternal and Nature are (in many ways) one and the same. So when I walk on the greenbelt, I find solice and an opportunity to meditate. As I walk, I might be listening to my meditation music or other inspirational material on my iPhone, or memorizing a text, or just breathing and opening my heart and mind to the Joy: These are all ways to strengthen that connection.

So come on a walk with me. See what you think. Perhaps this is something you could add to your “meditation repertoire.”  Perhaps you already have.

At its core, meditation is perhaps best described as a practice that allows one to focus. Which to me translates into “training one’s brain” to stop spinning: To not be distracted, to ponder and evaluate. Often meditation is associated with religious practices. And that is appropriate. But I find that this practice benefits in all areas of life. The MUSE 2 is an electronic device that helps train the brain to let one bypass emotions and take control. Since I am finding this to be a valuable tool in my personal efforts, I want to share what I have so far learned about the MUSE 2.

We say, “I hope so.” Often just in passing with no real expectations. And that is all good. But hope can be a powerful source of motivation. At times we are afraid to really hope. We let the fear of failure freeze us. Here I share ways I have found that help me put things in perspective and make hope the foundation for a more positive outlook on life.

Every child is a special delivery with unique characteristics. As they grow, they begin to blossom – unfold – and reveal who they are: outgoing or reserved, bold or cautious, artistic or analytic.  At some point we tend to pull back – fold in again. We find it is safer that way. We shield ourselves and often become more self-conscious. To some extent that is appropriate. But many of us fold in or recoil too far.  When we do that, it can inhibit our ability to fully engage with others – and in life in general. How can we bring back that exuberance and feel the joy of expressing our true selves? Let’s call on the source – our inner child!  In this episode we talk about how to reconnect with our inner child, hear their secrets and, as a result, animate our hearts.

But it often seems so complicated. Think of belief as a bouquet of flowers. Pick one or two, focus on those. Slowly add more as you continue to seek and find.
