Reflections on Life
One Day at a Time
In spite of our attempts to plan and control our lives, all that we can ever do is live our lives one day at a time. In fact, even that is a misnomer, for truly all that we can do is live in the moment, in the now. No matter how much we plan or try to bring our wishes or will into the future, we have only this moment of time, this now. Refusing to accept this essential fact or trying to change it is a significant factor in denying us the peace and joy that is our birthright.
Ironically, it is in understanding this fact that we are freed from our fears and the tyranny of our worries. In the moment, we know that we will never be tried beyond our ability to cope with the challenges that life puts in our path. Fear becomes both meaningless and useless as we acknowledge the deep truth that what we most fear may never happen.
Forgiveness too becomes more powerfully possible as what we need to forgive is in the past, and thus looses much of its pain in the transition to the moment.
You can remember the pain, but the pain has passed. You can worry about the future, but the future has not yet happened.
In the moment, in the now we are granted a grace that gives us the strength to bear what we had feared would be unbearable and forgive what we thought would be unforgivable.” – Genevieve Gerard
To help us bring our awareness to this moment and let go of the fears and illusions our mind and emotions create we can meditate, and through meditation be blessed with a life free of fear. Our sorrows and losses are diminished by the realization that they are in the past and you have survived and thrived; your have transcended and conquered all.
You are here, right now and whatever life brings you can handle it and cope with it in the blessed awareness and wisdom of the now.
