Embrace Stillness: Find Your Center

When I’m feeling pain and sadness. When life seems overwhelmed by chaos and disorder. When confusion clouds direction. I do what is immediately within my control. I take time for quiet and go within and listen to the wisdom of my soul. It takes me to a place where I am centered. A place of stillness and calm.

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

Wayne Dyer

I keep it simple. No special place, no routine, nothing elaborate, though finding a quiet spot certainly helps. I go within my heart and project love and kindness. I go within my compassion and project peace and understanding. I go within my humanity and project rightness and trustworthiness. I think it. I feel it.

 This is my truth:

In this world, I choose who I am…I am love. I am kindness. I am compassion. I am accepting. I am honest. I am encouraging. I am helpful. I am fair. I will do my part to become part of the change by being responsible for myself, first and radiate this to everyone near and far.

As Gandhi urged us with his timeless wisdom:

“We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. We need not wait to see what others do. A man is but a product of his thoughts. What he thinks he becomes.”

Embracing stillness helps me find my center. It leads me towards focus and clarity to make the right choices and head in the right direction. This is the beginning of hope. This I can do. ❤

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”

Rumi
