What did you notice today?

We’ve been at work, at home, at school, at college, sailing, running, piloting an aircraft…whatever we have been doing today, a simple question, what did you notice?

We are all so often just on autopilot, in our minds, thinking about past or future, planning, thinking about the next thing. Did we actually see anything? or are our daily routines so repetitive that we do not notice anything?

Perhaps it might be worth a moment each day to reflect upon what we saw, learnt, noticed, was there anything new or different. Even better, perhaps we could be more present and notice things in every moment.

Otherwise, each day, week, month, year, and life goes in just a blur of the everyday routines.

What you have

When was the last time you actually took the time to consider what you have at this moment in your life?

We spend most of our lives wishing to be in another moment and often with more stuff, more money, more success, more, more, more.

We are born with all that we need and we’ll die with all that we need, no amount of ‘more stuff’ will alter that.

What we all have now, as in right now, is life. Appreciate that and let all the rest go and enjoy peace, not happiness or misery, but the true joy that peace brings no matter how much you have or don’t.
