First Accept Things as They Are

We spend so much time NOT being where we are... in thought, mind and feeling. But this is where all your personal power lies... right where you are, with things just as they are.

Look around you: notice where you are. If you are in your office or house, notice the chair you are sitting on, the color of the room. Notice yourself; look at your feet. What color are your shoes? What color is the carpet? What day, month and year is it? What is your name?

Say your name to yourself. Repeat it saying, "I am 'Sally Smith.' Here I am in 'City, Sate, Nation, Street and Adress' alive and well right now.I am "Sally Smith" and I am here right now living my life.

Be at peace in the present instant you are living. Stay in today. Experience the present moment. Take time to experience you.

When you accept things as they are, just for a moment, not trying to change anything at all, having no judgments beyond your simple experience of the place you inhabit... Something happens--you gain the power of you, the power of self.

You begin to see and feel that you have a place in the world, a rightful place that belongs to the entire place of the Universe. A place of energy, being and belonging that includes you.

The importance of you begins to emerge. The peaceful reality of life begins to show.

When you accept things as they are, as you practice this, living life begins to be effortless. There is an ease about being you and being in the world... that gently asserts its presence... and you are provided for.
