THE PRESENT

I caught you!

No longer will I be unaware of your ways.

The deception was seamless,

Blinded by your actions,

I stood unaware of what was happening,

and all along I was deceived!

I watch you relentlessly drive others through their days,

Helpless against your clever moves,

Unable to read the clues.

I am here to call you out!

To show everyone what you truly are all about,

And empower them to see right through you.

No longer will I allow you to steer me to my despair!

Angry and soaked in frustration, I followed you to your source.

I will stop you when you creep upon me again.

I found you, my inner thief.

Dissatisfaction, impatience and haste area few of your names,

and focus on the future is your game,

Procrastination, avoidance, and self-pity are your ploys,

Using fear to avert and avoid.

Forward and back we go,

Taking us away from our most precious gift,

The love of who we are now, and what we are creating right now.

Staying focused on the present is the choice I now make,

As I opened that door, my inner thief has power no more.

Released from my bonds, I now create what is dearest in my heart.

Peace, love, respect, and joy are what you will see,

When you look at the radiance coming from me!

Reader’s Challenge

Are you enjoying what you are doing right now? Can you accept that choices and agreements you have made with yourself have put you exactly where you are today? Do you see the power of those choices and agreements directly affecting your life? How does living in the future, or getting trapped in the past affect how you feel? Think of all of the wonderful times in your life. I bet they were all lived in the present moment! How does this relate to Eco-Being? The choices you make are based on your perception. For example, “I am to busy to (fill in the blank)”. Recycle, protect the environment, conserve resources, or even live my life could be some examples. Do you think these excuses are valid? No, they are totally false! I would like you to know, at some point in my life, I have used everyone of them! Realize this is a false statement, and the truth is, instead of I am too busy too, replace it with “I choose not to (fill in the blank)”.  So then, if you correctly identify the fact that you choose not to do something, you may then think, what do I choose to do in my life? That is a question only you can answer, and if you are willing to work on examining and clarifying your goals, it is a very important step to a fulfilling life of creating what you do desire. Start by saying “I would like to (fill in the blank!)” and take an action towards that goal. If you find that goal isn’t really what you would like, than change it! The bottom line is to make time in your life to get to know what you love to do, which in turn, lays a foundation for the life you truly want and love. It may not be what you currently think or even expect! Get ready for some surprises! There are several techniques and many different tools available, but its best to start off by examining your choices you are making now.  Be gentle with yourself, this is an evolving process, and happy creating! I look forward to hearing from you!
