Big Dipper Castle or Castle Hohenzollern
Grateful for eyesight!
Often people ask me in consultation, "What do you mean be grateful? I am grateful."
Many people think they are grateful, yet they are full of complaints about whatever does not go their way. Many people live in the world of what is wrong, filled with doubts, concerns and unhappiness. Others live in the world of "should" or "if" and others judge, blame or have expectations of others that are not met.
Once one becomes aware of their beliefs about themselves or others it is easier to pay attention to ones thinking, feelings and desires that they create to cause the complaint. Change starts with first, Letting Go of the Past. Let go of the attachment to what should have or could have been, or what one believes should be. Next is accepting, "What is" or the Present or the "Now". Then one can respond to the reality of "What is" instead of reacting to what "Should be" or an expectation that is not met. We can barely live up to the expectations we place on ourselves. To react to what you expect of another and they did not meet your expectation is the "Cause" of the negative reactions to "What is".
Many times I simply recommend to stop, observe your thoughts and feelings in a state of silence and stillness. Listen. Do not Judge and be grateful. That is were they get lost.
When you are in a state of "Being grateful" one can marvel at magic, miracles and simple gifts - as "eye sight". I recommend to start with that - eyesight.
What have you seen today with the gift of your eyesight?
I practice this Being grateful for eyesight often.
Today I will blog what a saw today.
What a beautiful sight to behold!
The Big Dipper was low on the horizon with the handle down indicative of the Winter sky.
Just to the left was a Full Moon (still 99% full) with the North Star below, slightly west.
Rarely is the sky clear enough to see the full Big Dipper and even rarer is to see this sight. It is already 8:10 pm and the Big Dipper is gone from view.
I am grateful for eyesight!
