No 1441 of Living Life Series 1
If we cannot be at peace handling the routine problems of life and keep thinking about them, we will have more to think and brood about when bigger problems occur.
We must be at peace handling even the small problems and the small people who irritates us. If we think a great deal over the small problems and the small people, we spend more time thinking than living life.
Why waste time that way? Time and tide waits for no man. Be at peace with problems and think less and live more.
Don't live in the world of thoughts and end up not living or living less in the real world. If small problems affect us that badly, how much more will we be affected by big problems?
Our life flies by and is short. Don't be bugged by everyday run of the mill matters in life. Be more aware of the world and live in the real world. There are many matters we have no problem with but we take this for granted. Instead we brood over the few nitty gritty unpleasantries, we have yesterday or the days before and forget the pleasant experiences we have or had. This is us.
Perhaps we expect too much and when we are like that, we will be on edge and distracted. We forget to live in the here and now. If we forget to live in the here and now, we will soon brood over this. We will have more to boord about. We end up with more axe to grind.
How can we harness the tomorrows. Remember the past, even the immediate past is history and over. The present is a present - a gift. The future is yet to be and in a way a mystery. We cannot expect too much for tomorrow. Why? Come tomorrow and if it is not up to expectation, we will be disappointed and even more edgy.
We will end up living ever on edge. This is because we live less and spend too much time brooding and yet we expect more out of life.
We expect more out of life when we have less life. We waste life in brooding.
It is not that we cannot think. We can think and we should, otherwise we will be mindless and aimless.
But we need to live more by downplaying our expectations. We cannot go for the sky in every matter, even in the small matters. Otherwise, we will not hold our ground and we fall.
We are supposed not to fall but to move on. If we go for the sky even in small matters, we will buckle and fall ever so often.
We need to move on. There are more to it in life than what we had or experienced. Never mind the upsets here and there.
But if we do not have inner peace in everything we do or did in life, we will be bogged down and buried by the many upsets which become our woes in life.
If we have inner peace, these are not woes but at worst only pricks or insect bites to be forgotten. Time will heal even big wounds.
Just have inner peace. When big issues beset us, we are already conditioned by inner peace to do what we can and let whatever will be to be. We just focus on our many other blessings and good feelings.
We move on. We live life and not brood over life. This is the way or teaching of God and saints. We will be increasingly be like them. We are somewhat Godly. God and men will find us pleasant.
We will be loved by God and men. Why? We love life. We love ourselves and do not want ourselves to suffer.
We guard our inner peace and have more of the peace. We will be more loving in nature. This becomes our second nature and in time this peace and love is us.
God is love and peace all in one. We are reflections of God. We can say we are made in the image of God.
This has been reflected to us by Bo Tien 武 天 who says we must live in the meaning in his image for in his image is the doctrine - the very truth in life. He like God is in us and we in him if we have inner peace.
