"Beware of destination addiction, a preoccupation with the idea that happiness is in the next place, the next job, with the next partner. Until you give up the idea that happiness is somewhere else, it will never be where you are." - Collective Evolution FB page
Right Here. Right Now.
So often we talk and dream of some goal destination or place in our lives. When I ... The day I ... And so often I discuss here a reflection on all the moments of your life that have lead you to the right here and right now. The Journey to the Now Happy already attained.
Can we come into the Now, now? Are you recognizing what all Right Now has for your happiness? I am sure in many ways we do ... so consider this just a reminder to share with someone else who may be longing for a better time and place, a Later Time and Space, where they Plan to be happy. Help them be Happy ... even for a moment with who they are... Right Here, Right Now. It will make the rest of the Journey a lot more exciting.
Good morning, Greater Day. Greater You - avoiding destination addiction and helping someone else do the same.

"We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same." - Carlos Casteneda
But we don't see the choice.
We fail to grant ourselves two selections on the quiz sheet.
We take the road most often travelled. It has a sign up in huge neon... REACTION.
And we follow. Like a moth to a flame. A fly to a lightbulb. A mosquito to that zapper thing. And we get worked up. And we get emotionally exhausted.
Wonder what would happen if we just held onto our Reaction for a moment longer, to investigate a more well rounded and self bettering response?
Good morning, Greater day. Greater You - working just as hard at getting emotionally charged as you do drained.

"I am my own experiment. I am my own work of art." - Madonna
Humour me.
Humour you.
Sometimes you need to allow focus to centre on ... you.
So let your thoughts go. Don't worry for a moment about perception of selfish.
You are a canvas. Or a mound of clay. A piece of music. Now do one of those "life story in 60 seconds picture flashes". How far you have come. How the "art" has taken shape. How the image and sound has changed and grown along the way.
You are a canvas. Or a mound of clay. A piece of music. How might you add to your experiment today? How might you appreciate where this project is .... right now?
Good morning, Greater Day. Greater You ... admiring your work.

"Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must move faster than the lion or it won't survive. Every morning, a lion wakes up, and it knows it must move faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter if you're the lion or the gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be moving." - Maurice Greene, 5-time world champion sprinter
Life goes on around us. It does not stop. Your job rolls along, the people around you keep moving.
Any destination you have in dream shape for yourself, you need to be moving. Somewhere out there .... all of the elements that shape this day are rising to meet their role - playing their part on how this day will take shape around you ... what are you doing?
Good morning, Greater Day. Greater You - moving .
