Silence Builds Trust

Be silent
When you begin to question

Be silent
When you begin to feel less than neutral

If your mind is thinking about the past
Silence it

The past does not exist
Awaken yourself to the present

If you find yourself in an argument
Become silent

There is no debate
In the present moment

There is life
In the present moment

There is action
In the present moment

The moment you begin to contemplate
You are thinking about the past

The past
Haunts you immediately

If you have lost track
Of the present moment

Silence your mind
See the present

What are you doing now
What are you doing

What should you have done
Is not an option of thinking

If you want to live in the present
Let go of the past

I wish I have been teaching
Versus where can I teach today

The mind is pattern driven
The mind loves to know what is to come

But this is not living
It is a mindless game of the mind

Looking forward to your morning coffee
Is not a reason to get out of bed

End the cycles of routines
Give your life the opportunity to live

If you want to love what you do
Do what you love

It is a cliché thing to say
Yet it is the truth

If you are not enjoying what you are doing
You must change what you are doing

So many people
Live their entire lives hating what they do

Why do they live like this
Why do they let their lives have no meaning

Because their mind is in control
Because the mind loves what is easy

Coffee stimulates me
I like it

Getting up in the morning to go to work upsets me
But I like coffee

Games
These are all games of the mind

But if you look at your life and see through the games
You can begin to live your life again

The only difficulties in your life
Are the games you allow your mind to play

You live by these games
You do not live in the present moment

When you are living in the present moment
You feel awakened

Just like the beginning of a love relationship
Everything is wow and amazing

Because you have no prior experience
Yet the mind is enjoying the experience

You are living in the present
New memories are being created

How many routine days can you remember
How many cups of morning coffee can you remember

But those new experiences
The first experience of anything

How many of those have you forgotten
You remember those very well

If you want to feel life
Silence the games of your life

Silence your mind
Focus on now

It is not easy
But anyone can do it

No special training is needed
No support help is needed

The only thing needed
Is your commitment to living in the present moment

Take a chance
Skip your morning coffee

Maybe there is something different
Of course there is something different
