To Be Great

You don’t have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to be great.~Les Brown

We continually seek that great experience or that great purpose in life, failing to see the miracle of a single breath. While looking for that great event we miss the great opportunity to living as we were meant to be…happy, as happy could be…

How Strange that Nature Does Not Knock

How strange that Nature does not knock, and yet does not intrude!  ~Emily Dickinson

As freely as the trees grow or selflessly the sun rises in the East, we are to give and receive freely. Continuing to ask “Why not me?” or “What is in it for me?”…We continue living each moment with an expected outcome, often living in its disappointment as it never comes.

Giving freely, without an expected outcome, we open ourselves to freely receiving everything we ever imagined. Very few get this paradox, but give it a try and we shall never be disappointed. Give it a try…see what happens…
