"We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts
are conscious of our treasures."
~Thornton Wilder
Good morning!
When I started the Change Your Life Challenge program, my primary motive was to turn off the "auto-pilot" in my life. I am sure you are familiar with autopilot. You can see it actively in your life when one day fades into another and before you know it a week, a month or a year has gone by and you are left wondering, "Where did that time go?" I wanted to find a way to practice living moment-to-moment and treasuring each moment for the true gift that it is.
I stumbled across this Thornton Wilder quote while doing a search
for "Thanksgiving." It summarizes that Change Your Life Challenge
mission of turning off auto-pilot. When we are conscious of all our
treasures and we focus on those treasures, our lives become rich
and valuable moment-to-moment.
Your Turn:
Today, turn off your auto-pilot. Be fully present in each moment.
Focus on the treasures you have moment to moment instead of what is missing in your life.
Your affirmation:
Each moment I am present and conscious of life's many treasures.
And as always, don't forget to start your day with a heartfelt: "Something great is going to happen today... I can't wait to see what it is!"
And when ending your day ask yourself:
"What is one more thing I can do to make today matter?" |
