This Week's Reflection

 

You know, as well as I do, that everyday life's a mixed bag - the good, the bad, the ugly - an up and down rollercoaster ride where our ability to maintain flow is frequently challenged. That's life!

 

If we were to graph or chart the highs and lows of the normal mind's reaction to everyday challenges, we'd see a jagged picture of peaks and troughs or, quite often, just troughs and deeper troughs!!

 

If we were to do the same thing with someone who is committed to managing their mind and doing their very best to maintain flow, that chart would still have highs and lows but it would look more like a series of waves - no high peaks, no deep troughs, an entirely smoother chart.

 

None of us can maintain absolute serenity and peace of mind all day every day. None of us is enlightened - whatever that actually means! But each one of us has the innate ability to flow through the day smoothly, riding live's everyday waves.

 

In doing so, we begin to realise that we've stopped reacting to the challenges of the moment. Instead, with a steady mind, we've started acting. And that's a world of difference, that's what makes the chart so smooth!

 

And, even - and it's inevitable - when we find ourselves reacting, the big win is that we have found ourselves reacting and that awareness makes not just all the difference, it encourages to keep moving forward.
