The Journey...

March 23, 2010

All moments matter...

I was reading one of my favourite blogs/sites this morning over at Inspire Me Today and the message of todays Daily Inspiration really hit home with me. As most who know me (online and offline) I spend a lot of my time running around trying to enjoy every moment of every day. I am constantly talking about going with the flow and seeing what the mystery of my Journey has in store for me next. We never know what encounters or things might happen, even in "ordinary moments". Lauren Rosenfeld does a great job of articulating this today with her great message of inspiration. I really enjoy the following quote from her post:

"Think back to the most miraculous, breathtaking moment of your life. And now imagine if you removed all of the ordinary moments that led to it. What would happen to the miracle? It would disappear. Without the seeds of many unremarkable moments, the miraculous moment would never have manifested."

So go out today and do what you have to do and also enjoy every step of the process because these small moments are what create your life!

Take care,

Adrian

Is everyday great?

Hey Everyone,

I found this fantastic video while viewing one of my favourite blogs over @ Goodlife Zen today. I write a lot about how to deal with certain instances throughout our Journey's and two things that have really helped me recently is to be truly grateful for things and to enjoy everyday miracles. We all hear that staying in the present moment is the best way to live life. That can be hard for some of us who over think things or feel overwhelmed or disconnected sometimes. But I really do believe, in those times if you can try to be present and REALLY enjoy the everyday miracles that life brings us EVERYDAY than you can feel peace and love in your heart and mind.

I only ask for 2 special requests if you are going to view this video (and I don't ask for much very often):

1. Turn off everything else around you, close all your browser tabs (that includes email, facebook, twitter), turn off the TV, music, etc.

2. If you like this post and video, please feel free to share it with your friends and family - forward it on, share it in Facebook and Twitter - after you watch it of course :)

I hope that you take 5 minutes of your day to view this very special video. As Mary says over at Goodlife Zen mentions, it can change your life by just viewing this beautiful video. I know it did for me.

How do you feel when you watch this great video? Do you feel grateful for what you have and for what we have around us? Please share your thoughts below.

Thanks for your time,
Adrian

Everyday Miracles...

So, I just got back from a great walk today. Nothing better on a Sunday afternoon than reconnecting with nature! When I started walking today I thought about a post that I shared a few days ago named 11 Ways to Be More Aware Today by Goodlife Zen. It's a great post and one of the main things we should be aware of each day are everyday miracles. Here is a short message from the post that really explains it well:

Be aware of everyday miracles:

Its very easy to get used to what is around us everyday, but this does not make it any less miraculous. We can focus on everything that goes wrong, or we can focus on the fact that not everything does. Look at the age we live in. There are real miracles happening everyday, and I challenge you to look for them.

So, there I was today... walking with my phone, listening to music and I decided to take lots of pictures to share with everyone of a few Everyday Miracles I encountered today. It's really amazing how many beautiful things you can see in nature if you just are "aware" and really take the time to look for them! Enjoy the pictures! I also added one of me with my new look... let me know what you think. I almost had a great picture of a deer that was about 30 feet from me but they jumped in the air right when I snapped the shot... see if you can find the deer :) Take care everyone!
