Your Prince Has Come

A great cartoon appeared some years back. It showed a woman sitting on a rock daydreaming about Mr Right. “Someday my prince will come,” she muses happily.

A man on a white horse rides behind her and announces,  “I am here.”

“And he will be tall and handsome and charming,” she continues oblivious to her visitor.

“Ma’am?” the prince repeats. “It’s me. Prince Charming.”

“And he will have a great sense of humor and he will be a great lover……”

” Listen to me!!! Prince Charming pleads. I am already here!”

“And he will pick me up and carry me off and we will live happily ever after…..”

At which point the prince shrugs his shoulders in defeat and turns and rides off.  In the final frame of the cartoon, the woman is still staring off into space, sighing, ” Yes, someday my prince will come….”

Are you too busy living in the future or the past to notice the happiness and opportunities that already exist in the present?  Happiness will not arrive on a white horse at some vague future date to rescue you from your illusions.

To enter the world of real magic, open your heart to each second, each hour, each experience, and let it guide you to the precious peace of the present moment.

Wisdom of REPORTING and JUDGING

Twitter post: Wisdom in 140 characters: REPORTING AND JUDGING

There is a world of difference between reporting and judging.

When you report- you merely say what happened.

When you judge -attitudes and feelings are added on.

Reporting brings clarity and helps move us forward.

Report on what is happening in your life as often as you like. But try not to judge.

Judgment limits, confines. It says who you are, where you are, what you are doing is wrong.-that leaves little room for acceptance.

Judgment diminishes the freedom to grow and evolve.

Acceptance sets us free. Acceptance is the place from which all growth and change occurs.

When there is truth & acceptance without fear of judgment, there is freedom. Create your own world of freedom.

ACCEPTANCE: Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It means that you’ve decided to not to judge the imperfections.

“If you judge people, you have no time to love them.” Mother Teresa
