Inspiration from Brook on Facebook! Click here |
"If
your everyday life seems poor, don't blame it; blame yourself; admit to
yourself that you are not enough of a poet to call forth its riches;
because for the creator there is no poverty and no poor indifferent
place."
~Rainer Marie Rilke
Good
morning!
When I was 21 I
read Rainer Marie Rilke's book, Letters to a Young Poet. This one small
volume contained some of the best advice I ever received for living my
life. I have made a habit of re-reading it each year. It only takes an
afternoon, and I think my entire copy is highlighted by now!
Rilke has a way
of really challenging us to take responsibility for our lives. He
confronts us with many of our own "mind games" and he challenges us to
move past them. If you haven't read the book, I wholeheartedly
recommend doing so as one of the best things you can do for yourself
this year. It is a series of letters between Rilke and a young poet
where he shares advice on living a full life. Although written many years ago, the advice is
timeless. I have given the book as a gift many times, and have yet to
find a bookstore that does not have several different copies on hand.
So often we
blame outward circumstance for our inward feelings. Rilke challenges us
- "Don't blame it, blame yourself." He knows that each life is
beautiful, but often we have to call forth the riches. Our life will
only be poor and indifferent, if choose to let it be so.
Your
Turn:
You needn't a poet or artist to "call forth the
riches in life." All you have to do is realize everything is right here
and right now. Take a fresh picture. Change your perception. Count your
blessings instead of your obstacles.
Your
affirmation:
Each day I uncover the many riches in my life.
