Taking For Granted What's Right

As much as I am committed to focusing on gratitude, the dominant paradigm in our society and a long standing habit of mine is to take for granted what's right in my life and to notice with full attention what's wrong. When I ask "what's right" with even what I'm finding wrong, it shifts me into a more positive attitude. I can then focus on how to make it better rather than staying stuck, stewing with what I perceive as wrong.

About Me

My photo
Sausalito, California, United States
My purpose and vision is to live an authentically responsible life in alignment with my True Self, joyfully expressing my creative nature, nurturing and fostering a heart alive with wonder and awe. Meditation, tai chi, self-inquiry, reflection, therapy, and an extensive reading of Western psychology and Eastern spirituality, have helped me to develop a serious commitment to living in the moment in peace and joy. Through my persistent questioning regarding troublesome aspects of my own life, I have cultivated effective techniques to guide myself in learning how to recognize, examine and transform the beliefs I hold that cause suffering in my life. Love, gratitude, and surrender to what is, is the key to living a life in flow.
