The Daily Do

We’re all searching for a moment of perfect peace, acceptance and harmony. And we discover quickly that it’s not in buying stuff or the fruitless fix of social media. Contentment comes from inside out, not from owning, seeing or consuming and it’s when you find stillness in your day these things become less confusing. Sit in silence with yourself, find the deepest treasure of your inner wealth, everything you need is now.

Flashes of intuition, having a hunch or a gut feeling that something’s right are pretty hard to hear if you’re locked in fear and fright. How can you follow your heart if your heart is in distress? No one can hear their calling over the din of uneasiness. First, you must find stillness to let profound intuition speak. From peace you’ll hear and feel the flashes of what’s best for you, personal and unique. Listen, feel, accept and act, these intuitions are your guide. From stillness into action, follow the voice inside.

How am I? Ask yourself this and then really listen to find out. The answer directs you to the important things you can DO something about. 'How am I?', asked fearlessly and with love, will clear the path again. Being honest with yourself is your destiny’s greatest friend. Be true to yourself once you’ve remembered who that is, reset the bar you rise to, find direction and then aim at this.

You have all the time in the world to REALLY LIVE but it’ll always be called ‘today’. There’s no better time to start the plans you dreamt of yesterday. Why put off your defining moments for when life’s been sorted out? There will always be the day to day of life to block and blame. Start. The hardest part, the summit lying at your feet, one small step begins the change of all you want to be.

I hope these words reach out today and touch you if you’re in need, keep going, it’s ok if life’s not perfect, in time you’ll find your feet. The journey through the low points often comes just before the rise, it doesn’t feel great when you’re in it, but know you will survive. And shortly cracks of light appear because you kept on keeping on. Persistence is enough for now, you’re heading for the sun.

Hard work isn’t hard if you see it’s proper role as the outward evidence of what is in your soul. The exact same action can be seen as tough or trouble free, either grind your way through it or do the same job knowing 'This is all for me'. Accept this and the load gets lighter yet the job remains the same, it's all a little easier when part of a larger frame.

Realise, right now, there is no danger at your door. You have food, water, clothes and shelter from any storm. Be here in this moment waking to this present truth; everything is ok, life’s supporting you. Right here in this present, you are nourished, clothed and safe. Life has given you this moment to cherish, not to waste. To waste on worry of future pain is to miss the truth of NOW; you are safe, you are sheltered, the sky's not falling down.

In doing our daily best we are pulling doors open and letting opportunity walk in, we don’t always have to push for new chapters to begin. If you’re optimitistic, helpful, kind and know your thing, you’ll attract the right opportunities, just from what you’re doing. In essence this is focus on what you can do and leave the rest; to be good at what you do, and with a smile, will suit you best.

Our minds try to fill most space with words, mostly thought and often spoken, but the most profound expression is found in silence that’s unbroken. When we reach into the silence and simply let ourselves be there, words fall un-required, stillness needs no grand fanfare. Stillness! Do you notice that it’s everywhere? Deep peace, contentment flowing. The stillness of our ever now, ever here, and always growing.

Remember how once you desired some of this here and now, these friends, your kids or even that car? Stand in the brightness of realised thanks that once you desired and now here they are. Realise the dazzling truth of unlimited choice, the brilliant glare of anything always, and be bathed in the radiance of freedom today. What you desire, you become.
