“Listen like you will never be hurt” – without fear, in the present.

It means letting go of the memories of past hurts, and of not worrying about whether the love will last – just enjoying it for the moment.

Ask yourself:

“How would I listen, if I was guaranteed not get hurt”?

Would I listen with trust, with faith, with joy, with harmony?

‘BEING’ in the Moment … expands Your ‘BEING.’

 

It’s easy to get busy in life trying to do everything at once. You can listen and work at the same time but sometimes multi-tasking isn’t the best use of our time. Sometimes we have to stop, look people in the eyes, and give them the gift of listening.

Being present, in the moment, is a Gift in Recovery…..

We need to take time to deposit value in their hearts. We need to support one another, and listening is an amazing way of doing just that. Your presence is a worthy vehicle for all those around You. It seems like such a little thing, but those little deposits will eventually make a big difference. When you make deposits in people, you are making deposits in eternity, and that is what pleases the heart of God.

As you go about your day, give people the gift of listening. You will be amazed as to what you hear. Living in the moment sounds easy, but it will take some effort until you get into the habit. After all, with so much going on around us, it’s easy to get distracted by fears, worries, frustrations, and stress. Being present and listening opens all the doors to approaching life on step at a time; enabling you to handle all the challenges ‘one bite at a time’, saving you from choking, taking in too much at once.

Think of a wonderful meal that has been prepared just for you…do you eat ALL that is on the plate at once or do you savor each item, one bite at a time. That is how life should be lived, savored and digested. By being present and truly listening each moment of your life, your ‘Being’ will expand and heal, realizing wonders that were never seen before, for they are no longer all mixed up in one spoonful of living.

Living in the moment and being absolutely present, listening to life one second at a time is not easy, but once you get used to it, though, you’ll wonder how you could have lived any other way!

BE Present…

BE Fearless…

YOU are Wanted, Needed & Loved…

By the way, DON’T LOOK BACK, and regret all the moments that you may have missed. Your life has just begun, and is exactly the way it was supposed to be.

Let the past go, embrace this moment and keep your head clear to receive each spoonful of TODAY.
