Every Morning. Every Evening

Every morning when the Sun rises I tell myself:
This could be my last sunrise. I could die today. Am I ready? No, Why not... what do I need to change today.

Every evening when the sun sets I tell myself that this could be the last sunset. I could die tonight. Am I ready to go? No. Why not... What do I need to do in order to be prepared.

People hardly ever know when they are going to die. People unexpectedly die all the time. How would you feel if you died today? Would you be ready? What do you need to do in order to be ready? What do you need to change about yourself?

There is an adage that goes there is a blind turtle swimming in the ocean and on the surface floats a piece of drift wood with a small hole. The changes of that blind turtle surfacing and sticking its little head through that hole are about the same as the chances of being human. It is a very fortunate gift to have the consensus that we have. Yet how many people you know who utterly squander that gift? I know that I am certainly one. How much of the day do I spend thinking about the past or projecting into the future? How much of the day do I spend in judgment? How much time do I spend engaging in mindless chatter? How much of the day do I spend catering to the ego? How much of the day do I spend trying to make plans so that things go my way? I must admit that if my brain was projected on a movie screen I would be embarrassed.

True happiness can be find right here right now with what we have.

So lets take stock, what do we have? I know that I have my body breathing and my mind thinking.

I believe the first step towards true happiness lies in trying to make sure that my resources are working together. I want to try to align my mind and my body and make sure that they are in the same place working together.

Where do you seek for true happiness? What is standing in the way? Would it still be in the way if you knew you were going to die today?
