Awareness

Don't look back in anger.

Don't look ahead in fear.

Look around in awareness.


I am not sure who said this quote first, but I recently heard it and realized that is very fitting for me. I have spent many of my days looking at what has been or happened in anger. My fear of not having control of what is going to happen in the future is overwhelming at times. Really I need to stop and be still. Be aware of where I am now. In this moment, how do I feel? What is important in this moment? What is going to have the most positive effect on me at this time? What can I do to soak in all that is in this moment.

I am aware that I need to strive to be more aware.
