During a recent conversation with friends the topic of 'living in the moment' came up. This is a topic I've addressed before and that I feel very strongly about. We miss out on so much of the joy we could be experiencing in our daily activities. Our body is one place and our mind is somewhere else. Faithful people sit in church on Sunday and miss all the comfort, inspiration, and stress release that could be theirs because their mind is already at home thinking about the football game on television or its already at work Monday morning thinking of all the things they need to do. We pass through our day rather than experiencing our day. Living, is learning to be wherever you are. It's being mindful of the present moment and fully experiencing all the emotion, learning and growth it has to offer. Living, is taking time to watch a sunset. It's listening to silence. Living, is being mindful of each moment so that it adds to our experience and who we are in this whole process of being. Living, isn't something we do, it's something we experience. Until we become mindful, until we learn to be there, we will never master the art of living. Where are you?
