If you could narrow down your spiritual path to the most important thing what would it be?

Courage?

Dignity?

Diligence?

For me it is self honesty.

Because I am a Buddhist I would say mindfulness or self awareness. Which is a good way of putting it, I think. Because we all have self awareness. But, sometimes we are not sure if we have self honesty. At least I am not sure. And it is sometimes very hard to be confident that we are not kidding ourselves either.

But for me the trickiest of them all is when I did not even realize I had been kidding myself.

Just for today

So, just for today let me be clear and strong in my self awareness and may I not kid myself about the things that need healing. May I seek comfort in my evolution and nurture my natural growth and life’s changes. May I not try to hold onto what I have, but enjoy the experiences for what they are.

Letting go of the need to control

By letting go our need to control our life situation and the contents we have the chance to move into something infinitely more stable and indestructible. Genuine self honesty and self awareness cannot be disturbed by the ups and downs of our life. The chance of daily living. Because there is nothing to uncover. Nothing we do not already know about. No shadow unseen or skeleton in our closet.

Move into fearlessness

If we can strive to embrace self honesty and living in the authentic presence that comes naturally with it, we can move from fear to fearlessness. From worry to contentment.

May that be YOUR experience today!
