Where is the gift in this moment?

“As you begin to embrace the idea that life is here for your joy, that every moment is a gift, showing you the path to fulfillment, you will discover magic happening in your life.” – from The Passion Test

Are You Open to the Magic?

Coming across this tiny flower in the sand on my morning walk was magical for me. Capturing the drops of rain with my camera was even more so. It was one of those very joyful moments in life that could so easily be missed.

Discovering the joy in life requires that you slow down, even for just a few minutes each day…unplug, look and listen. Simple really…yet it also requires you to let go of your judgments and concepts about the things you experience.

It is in the recognition that every single moment of your life is here to lead you on to experiencing infinite joy, pure bliss and complete delight. And it sometimes begs you to ask yourself, “Where is the gift in this moment?”

As I leap into 2012 that is my resolution…look for the gift in the moments of my life.

When you start looking for it, the universe delivers. You’ll start to find it.

You are a gift in my life I can’t wait to unwrap.
