The speaker encourages a life of mindfulness and acceptance, urging us to view our consciousness and the present moment as a gift. By letting go of resistance and embracing reality as it unfolds, we can find peace and achieve greater success in life.
We should simply sit here and acknowledge I'm a conscious being.
That's a blessing. However we got here, we don't fully understand,
but we know that we're here and aware. Life is unfolding in front of us,
one moment at a time. We know there are countless things going on all over that
we aren't experiencing. We can't see or know it all. So instead
let's fully experience the part we are seeing.
Wow, it's incredible. Let's treat this experience like a gift.
This is the gift we're given, the moment in front of us.
There are seven billion people on earth, each one experiencing something
different every single moment. That's the gift they're given, just as
this moment is our own unique gift. So let's come into the moment with
honor, respect and gratitude. Let's sit with the moment and say,
thank you. This is the moment I get to experience.
It's not about what I want or don't want, what should be
or shouldn't be. It's about the humility to recognize that I didn't create this
moment. I'm simply here to experience it. That's
what I am, the experiencer of this moment. There are
forces at work creating this entire universe.
Maybe you think of them as science. Maybe you call it God.
It doesn't matter. Just know that these forces are
not me. The best name for the creator of the universe might just be
not me, because we know it isn't us. So all we can do is sit here, receive the
moment we have in front of us and honor and respect this experience as
it is. Here's the simple truth. Spirituality and
living well are really the same thing. This way of
being, accepting life as it comes, is the best
approach to any moment. And I'm telling you, if you live this
way, you'll end up being more successful in
Why? Because you won't be struggling or fighting against what's happening.
Instead you'll be honoring and respecting the moment as it unfolds,
seeing what's possible from where you are. It all begins with acceptance.
Imagine playing golf for example. You hit the ball
but it doesn't go where you want it. It veers off into the rough instead of
landing straight down the fairway. Maybe you hoped for a perfect 300 or
setting you up for the perfect shot to the green.
But now, here you are, stuck in a less than ideal spot.
Now should you ignore where the ball actually landed and go ahead with the
club you planned to use? Should you pretend that everything is
exactly as you wanted it? Of course not. If you insist on acting
like you're in a better position than you are,
your game won't go well. You need to start by accepting the reality of where
you are, whether you like it or not. The truth
is, if you don't accept it, you'll only get
frustrated, which will make your next shot even
harder.
