Daily Inspirational Message for August 23, 2013

When I look back on all of these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened.
– Winston Churchill
 

There are a few books and spiritual teachings that have had such a big impact on me that I refer back to them on a daily basis. One of those is The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. Whenever I find myself obsessing about some wound I suffered in the past or worrying about what may happen in the future, I remember Tolle’s wise teachings, and I pull my attention back to the present where I realize that all is well in this moment. The more I practice getting out of my head and bringing my full attention to the ever-evolving Now, the more I am able to embody the peace and emotional well-being we all crave.
