AWARENESS, a feature that many students of Buddhism and Buddhist Monks share and commit to daily practice is not something that has played a role in my last 24 hours. Things have sort of been happening to me. I have felt a bit helpless and quite a bit more alone. I've been watching my fiance plan our wedding. I've been hobbling around in a walking boot with a fractured ankle wondering if it will come off by the wedding date. I've been moaning about which clients will leave and which ones will stay. I've been getting pushed around by people on the train. I've been letting things happen to me. I've been playing the victim for the last 24 hours and it frankly, it feels horrible. I have made the decision to stop now.
I have chosen to take control starting now. I have chosen to capitalize on my strengths and work around my weaknesses; accepting both for what they are. I have chosen to be aware of myself and to get out of my own way. I have asked for help. I have smiled in the most unlikely moments. I have picked myself up. I have helped others by helping myself. I have turned my life around in a matter of moments. I have energized myself and the people around me. I have chosen to be in control of my actions which have consequences which I am responsible for.
How is your day going?
