Friday Favorites...The Classic Wayne Dyer

“The willingness and ability to live fully in the now eludes many people. While eating your appetizer, don’t be concerned with dessert. While reading a book, notice where your thoughts are. While on vacation, be there instead of thinking about what should have been done and what has to be done when returning home. Don’t let the elusive present moment get used up by thoughts that aren’t in the here and now.”
― Wayne W. Dyer

Happy Friday beautiful loves!  I am soaking up these timeless words by Wayne Dyer.  Each line offers the reader an opportunity to devour the present moment with full awareness.  We each have within us the capacity to be here now and to relish in living our lives in an awake and aware way!  As I reflect on the willingness within my life, I notice that I easily get sidetracked, distracted, and sometimes downright silly about what really matters in the moment.  Thoughts of days gone by descend and carry me back to the past.  Anxieties about the future swallow up my relationship to the NOW.  And dreams have a tendency to keep my mind jogging on a track of possibilities.  There are so many ways to distract ourselves from this very moment.  Even thinking can be a distraction.  I take a deep breath in and breathe in this perfect moment!  I take a deep breathe out and breathe out this perfect moment.  

It is through the practice and dedication of mindfulness that we begin arriving more frequently.  Our ability to return time and time again allows us to cultivate a rich internal grounded nature that isn't easily swayed by external events.   May you reconnect to your present moment and live your life in an awake and aware way!

May You Sweetly Seek:)
