Cease the Compulsive Striving

What more can I say: STOP IT!
Stop allowing your mind to roam away from the Now!
It happens all the time without you even knowing it. You drive down the street and your mind is constantly thinking about everything else but driving down the road.
You stand in line at the store and your mind is constantly thinking about everything else but standing in line at the store.
Your hear your child talking... your mind is constantly thinking about everything else but what your child is saying!
We have to stop it!
Our lives, and the people in our lives, are whizzing by us without our even being aware of it.
We always say the days go by so quickly... the years go by so quickly. THAT IS BECAUSE WE ARE NOT AWARE OF THEM!
We have to find a way to stop this!
And it stops by being aware of the moment... the day... the week... the year.
It stops by bringing your attention, your full attention, to whomever is talking to you.
It stops by looking at the scenery as you drive down the road!
It stops by talking to someone in line at the store!
It stops by hearing what your child is telling you!
We CAN stop it... if only we become aware of the Now!
Namaste
