“Do not be afraid. Only believe.” (Mark 5:36)
“There are two ways to look at life. One is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though everything is.” — Albert Einstein.
Hmm…
Which way do you look at life?
Which way have you looked at your life today?
I’ve been re-reading the The Power of Now
…of letting go of fear and the need to be right…
…trusting, and growing in awareness…
…and ultimately delighting in life…
…delighting in Now, because Now is where I am, what I’m experiencing, and where I can choose and make different choices…
You may have noticed a variety of resources recommended on this blog, and I want to comment on that briefly today, so you can get the most out of what’s here.
First and foremost, I encourage you to look for what opens doors for you.
What gives you a sense of “Aha…” and a feeling of moving into a larger space…
I encourage you to look beyond the words any given author or resource, or I myself, use.
Remember that our words are all merely pointers–pointing to something beyond the words, however imperfectly.
Thus, look to what the words point to, and if it’s something that expands your wonder and appreciation of “what is” and opens more doors of possibility for you, observe that and ponder it, rather than immediately reacting to the words or labels themselves…
It is not my purpose here to convert you to any particular world-view, but to merely open doors for you to expand your own awareness of principles that affect us daily just like gravity.
Sometimes you may agree with what you read.
Sometimes you may strongly disagree.
If you allow yourself to explore, though, with an open mind, often the journey of thought and awareness that you walk will have great value for you.
In fact, in many ways it is not a book or what someone says or writes that alone is “right or wrong”, “valuable” or “not valuable”, it is the response in us, the journey in thought and awareness that we walk in response to what we read or hear, that often “creates something new” and is what has the greater value.
So enjoy exploring the resources and ideas on this site.
Better yet, add your own comments, and through dialog, we can each grow and embrace life more and more “abundantly” and wholeheartedly.
To your abundant and joyful well-being,
Dr. Ben
