I heard Burgs say that the surface of a still lake is like a mirror. It reflects the moonlight perfectly. If we throw pebbles, stones, or other things into it, it is hard to see what it is really reflecting. He compares this to our stillness. When we achieve tranquility and refrain from throwing thoughts, noise or social media impulses at ourselves, we also reflect what is.
Living, working, and creating
Meditation reminds me of the vast possibilities we have. Let's use meditation more to tap into energy. Let's replenish our own energy levels and send that overflowing energy out into the world with loving kindness.
I don't know how this works and at the same time I trust and believe that it is possible. I share my energy and love with the wish for health, peace and well being in the world.
Living together on earth we can and should take care of each other.
We may be connected through family, work or associations. Perhaps our interests connect us, and of course social media does. Certainly, the Internet connects the flow of information between us. Everything that happens, fiction and reality, is available within minutes or less in our pockets on the screens of our smartphones.
AI can help us understand better. It can translate directly. It can translate into a language that we understand. Let's use a better understanding of situations to be better with each other. So in everything, do to others as you would have them do to you.
Event + Reaction = Outcome
We can either be part of an event or be informed of an event. Our reaction is determined by our understanding of the event. And our understanding comes from what we see and hear and what memories are associated with it in our brain. This creates our own feeling in that moment. And that feeling, in turn, determines how we act.
I like the common understanding that babies are born happy, curious, and eager to learn. A baby's temperament can change in a matter of seconds, showing us the full range of moods. The "default" seems to be happiness.
Want to experience more happiness, more joy in your daily life? Add it to the equations.
Event + joyful Reaction = joyful Outcome
Living today, you can start your day with calmness, be in a mirror-like state, reflect what is, replenish your energy and donate the surplus to the universe to share with people, animals and nature alike. You can tap into happiness! Prepare yourself for this day. Be ready to pour joy into your reactions. You will create joyful outcomes.
If we do this as we live, work and create, we too can make this world a better place.
Let's choose to live today!
