Lately, in my inward contemplative state of mind, I have been thinking about what life would be like if I were to embrace the quality of love - or gratitude - or harmony - as if it were a true friend. More than just a "feeling"; more than just an "attitude", but more like an actual, lifelike experience that was consistant and constant - like a friend - a very good friend.
In the philosophy of Science of Mind, we recognize the huge impact upon one's life that a mere minimal shift in how we think can have upon our outward living experience. Can you imagine what would happen by truly "embodying" or making our own inward experience an everyday habit out of such things as peace, or contentment, or joy? Can you imagine how the entire world would shift?
What would my life (or your life) be like if we truly - not superficially - lived from a place of kindness or beauty or abundance? All sense of separation would dissolve. Anything resembling competition (created out of lack) would no longer be an issue. Creativity would abound and mutual respect would be "normal". "Different" would be looked upon as a place for expanded learning. Art and science would flourish. Life would be revered as an expression of the Divine and so hatred, violence and war would be non-existent.
Can we even imagine such a thing? If we can begin to imagine that it is possible, I believe it can then become a true reality. And, I realize it has to begin with me.
So, for the upcoming week, I commit to embracing the quality of appreciation as a true friend - as a deep and rich part of my daily living.
Will you join me by choosing a quality you would be willing to practice consistently for the next week?
Let's see what happens. It can only be good!
