The Power of How … (10/21/11)
THE POWER OF HOW:
Eckhart Tolle’s “The Power of Now” (along with his related works) has developed quite the following of late, and I do not wish to denounce anything he has to say. Indeed, remembering how to pause and consciously enter the Here&Now is a crucial step towards attaining a state of being that is both powerful and joyous …
… & YET IT IS ONLY THE FIRST STEP along that Path.
In order to find true Joy in life, such a purposeful pause must be immediately followed by an ACT of courageous Kindness — a caring deed done solely for the benefit of another.
We are not here to live the longest, most pleasurable lives for ourselves.
We are not here to attain our greatest degree of “personal growth”.
We are not even here to find “Inner Peace” or to “become enlightened”.
We have been given this life to live it to its true FULLEST —
We are here to Love others in those times when it is most difficult to do so.
