It has taken me most of 58 years to embrace the words of the first post ("Your life..."). 58 years of pointing to the world with a finger of blame, listening to myself as a victim, living in guilt, never being happy. Poor sad Steve was my theme, and it was reinforced by everyone, it seemed, and mostly my family...and I believed it.
What changed? Well, it took a while and a lot of painful work. But in the right season and in the right place I began to see that I was the author and creator of my experience. The world is innocent. All events are neutral, until I place value or judgment upon them. Then they are no longer neutral for me, and my judgment does not change the event. The point is not to change what is out there in the world, but to change my mind, to discover the truth that is true always about me.
It took 58 years for Sad Steve to become Happy Steve. It was time well spent.

Your life...
Each of your days is a blessing and a gift if you use it from the full commitment to awakening. Your day in chock full of a million opportunities to discover a deeper truth. For just behind your experiences there is something deeper taking place. Therefore never feel that the purpose of your life is something other than what you are involved in.
Your ordinary daily life is the most perfect ashram you could ever be within. It is the holy city to which it is wise to make pilgrimage every day, which means to bring awareness and commitment to exactly what you are experiencing. Be thankful for it, bless it, embrace it, be vigilant, and be mindful. What is this moment teaching you?
The universe is conspiring with you to awaken you and to heal you. Say,
Your life, just as it is unfolding moment-to-moment, is meant for you. The way to God can only be found in your willingness to embrace and live fully the very life that is within you and that unfolds through you with each moment.

The universe is conspiring with you to awaken you and to heal you. Say,
I do not live any ordinary moments.
With each breath, my experiences are the stepping stones
laid before me of God to guide me home.
I will bring awareness to each moment,
and allow it to teach me to forgive,
how to embrace, how to love, and therefore how to live fully.
