Stephen Covey Quote about potential and imagination
It never snows in British Columbia, really, honestly. Photo taken in front of my house. Nick
I can change. I can live out of my imagination instead
of my memory. I can tie myself to my limitless
potential instead of my limiting past
Source: Stephen Covey
This quote can be said as an affirmation. Say it out loud during the day, over and over.
I know I need to. If you are like me, and most of the people I have been reading, or reading about share similar experiences, focusing on the now, instead of some incident of the past, or mocking up conversations, or clever responses to a situation you cannot go back to and change, poses a huge challenge.
We all do this to a degree. The more we snuggle back into the past where we can pretend our actions or our imagined conversations will change the present, the less connected we are to the “now”.
Don’t feel badly that you do this too, just practice to live as many of your moments as possible in the current moment. When you really get it, you will know there is nothing else.
On very rare occasions I have made it up the mountain to that incredible place where you become one with everything in the now. When that happens I know that I have been touched by god or the source, or however you refer to the divine.
Amazingly getting to the top of the mountain is extremely easy. All you have to do is let go. That’s what meditation is all about: letting go.
The hard part is all the struggle and strife we go through to get there. While we scream and kick and trash about, and ‘effort” like mad to get to the summit, we could simple let go and we would be there.
The trap is: we are conditioned to the struggle.
Letting go of that piece of straw you are grasping at, which you think will save you, allthough logical tells you it can’t, is the hardest thing you will ever do.
But do it once, and the next time is easier, and the time after that.
Read the quote again now, write it down somewhere, let it infiltrate your being, let it sink down to bone and sinew and through the cracks into your very soul.
Have an awesome Monday
Nick
