Moment by moment

Throughout life,
the two most futile emotions are guilt for what has been done and worry about
what might be done (Wayne Dyer)
Today is Eid, a
public holiday in Uganda. As I was driving to base the streets were filled with
women in their hijabs and men in their long robes and hats. I passed an area and in an open field were
women in colorful head pieces sitting on the grass on mats, very organized. I
thought about my boxing coach who within the last few weeks he trained as
normal while fasting, I asked him about it and he said to me your mind is more
powerful than you ever think, this is what I learnt from fasting.
One day at a time
is all you need to do, take each day as it comes, focus on the day on the now
moment. A lot of times we have the tendency to focus on the future and make up
scenarios in our head which most times are worst case scenarios. This is
different from planning. I think
planning involves a more positive outcome of the different options available,
more optimistic approach
I don’t know if I
will ever fast for forty days, before I wouldn’t even consider it because I
went straight to the thoughts of being hungry and weak! After talking to Opio
and hearing his reason of training his mind and believing that there is power
in our thoughts I may give it a go and see what happens knowing that I am not
only a body, that I control my thoughts and take the day and the time moment by
moment
So what did I
learn today?
Taken from the
Course of Miracles, “I am not a body, I am free for I am as God created me”
connected to the Source with the power to control my mind. Meet the present
moment and live fully in it.
Peace
