Honoring Your Reality Right Now

 

The first step to change...is honoring your reality right now. 

Dan Millman

While on the topic of accepting the now and at the same time mentally preparing myself  for some necessary change, I came across an Eckhart Tolle video today entitled, Accepting the Present Moment, not the Life Situation. 

So though I know the circumstances of "my"  life seem overwhelmning at times, there is still a succession of precious moments within them that I can focus on.  

And I am learning that though we are best off to revel in the 'isness' of Life and  allow it to express itself through everything we encounter, that does not mean that we are not supposed to take action to change our situations for the better.  

In fact, the two go together.  We accept the now for what it is, witnessing Life expressing itself through any form we are offered.  And by being present and aware we gain the clarity and the wisdom to take the steps necessary to improve our life situation.

Notice, accept, allow and even honor embrace what is first.   Then change.

We cannot make healthy change when we are in a state of denial, or resistance.  We must first accept the reality of our here and now....then we either watch as Life changes for the better before our eyes or listen as we are guided towards the healthiest steps to take  for change. 

Hmmm!

All is well.
