Wherever You Are, Be There by Jim Rohn
One of the major reasons why we fail
to find happiness or to create unique lifestyle is because we have not yet
mastered the art of being.
While we are home our thoughts are
still absorbed with solving the challenges we face at the office. And when we
are at the office we find ourselves worrying about problems at home.
We go through the day without really
listening to what others are saying to us. We may be hearing the words, but we
aren’t absorbing the message.
As we go through the day we find
ourselves focusing on past experiences or future possibilities. We are so
involved in yesterday and tomorrow that we never even notice that today is
slipping by.
We go through the day rather than
getting something from the day. We are everywhere at any given moment in time
except living in that moment in time.
Lifestyle is learning to be wherever
you are. It is developing a unique focus on the current moment, and drawing
from it all of the substance and wealth of experience and emotions that it has
to offer. Lifestyle is taking time to watch a sunset. Lifestyle is listening to
silence. Lifestyle is capturing each moment so that it becomes a new part of
what we are and of what we are in the process of becoming. Lifestyle is not
something we do; it is something we experience. And until we learn to be there,
we will never master the art of living well.
