Engaged

Good Day,

Many times we engage life just upon the surface. We read about living fuller lives or ask questions about gaining more happiness, but when it comes time for action we simply go no further. I use to laugh about vacation trips where we went to see all the latest attractions and our schedule was so full that literally all we could do was ride by and see it! If we were really lucky we would stop and take a picture as proof we were there!

We can make the mistake of living our life out in the same pattern - always thinking, looking and analyzing life, but never truly engaged with life. . . never really living it. Thoughts are not living, any more than words and pictures. It is up to us to slow down and recognize the moments for what they are and to truly bring life into our hearts, actions and being.

Today do not just ponder the world and life, live through it and let life live through you, the world will be more engaged and life will take on new meaning. What is the good of your stars and trees, your sunrise and the wind, if they do not enter into our daily lives?

Peace and Love, Jim
