Most of us have adapted to seeing the big picture because we have adopted the same unnecessary frenzied pace of the world. We feel compelled to immediately distinguish what is important from what is not. We tend to admire this “daily grind” — everything relating to success seems significant and everything else seems questionable in terms of purpose. But what is most precious in this life often are the least momentous. They are these pure moments in which we are simply in awe by what is in present time. However our perception of these moments may be blocked by external influences so to experience them fully, we must learn to open ourselves to their existence.
These moments are not measured by the composition of an experience but rather by our reaction to it. Do you ever notice how in memory, we recall how this memory made us feel rather than the small, crisp visuals of that moment? Since such moments come and go quickly, they should be consciously savored and noted. They stick with us only when we recognize the impact they have had on our mental and emotional bodies.
In a mere moment, we may find we are suddenly and blissfully aware that we have evolved or that those around us have changed in some positive way or we may witness incidents of innocent kindness and compassion that do not directly involve us yet touch our heart space immensely. When we cherish these occurrences, we condition ourselves to take acknowledgement of them when they happen and allow their value to deepen the sense of fulfillment to our life.
Namaste!
