Take Notice

We do not own ourselves, 

we belong to the Universe.

No one planned to come into existence.

Life is a gift to us and life dwells inside 

every cell of our being.

We must learn not to take ourselves 

so seriously.

We must learn to protect life 

and try to make this world 

a better place for all.

To take notice is to become aware, it does not mean that we have to understand.

Why did life came into existence and why are we such an infinitesimal speck compared 

to the whole of the Universe are questions whose answers only the Great Creator 

knows and understands.

What we need to take notice of is the here and now and

to believe that we are doing the best we can to enjoy this life.

Learn how to, practice how to, share and know unconditional love.

The here and now is seeing, hearing, reading, listening

and doing whatever is necessary to learn how to better enjoy this life.

Emulate the winners, the happy and the content, and do not

follow the example of the negative naysayer.

The here and now is learning to share the happiness

and joy that comes from living a life which obeys the will of a Higher Power.

"True happiness is to enjoy the present,
without anxious dependence upon the future,
not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears
but to rest satisfied with what we have,
which is sufficient,
for he that is so wants nothing.
The great blessings of mankind are within us
and within our reach.
A wise man is content with his lot,
whatever it may be,
without wishing for what he has not."  ~  Seneca

Take notice that we no longer dwell in the Garden of Eden.

Take notice that we do not live in a dream world.

Take notice that you need to breathe, eat and do what is necessary to continue living.

The most important thing that we can be aware of is that

we can enjoy and have delight in doing what is necessary.

As with all things in our life we must take notice when it is necessary to change.

It may not be Eden, but where you dwell must be safe.

It may not be a dream world, but it should be a place where you are allowed

to have dreams.

Having the necessities of life should not be a worry or a problem that is caused by others.

Take notice that you may have to change the people, places and things in

your life if they are preventing you from living a life that is happy, joyous and free.

Love is not a reason to live or die, love is a necessity that keeps us alive.

Love is being with the right people, at the right place, at the right time.

Do what is necessary to improve your life.

Make a gratitude list.

Pray for guidance.

Change what you can.

"Yes, there is a Nirvanah;
it is leading your sheep to a green pasture,
and in putting your child to sleep,
and in writing the last line of your poem."  ~  Kahlil Gibran

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
