Moment to Moment... Change evolves
I was recently helping my daughter with painting the outside of her house... It was a beautiful fall day and wearing my well used painting gear, I began... paint, brush, drip cloth in hand I stood before the panels and looked at the job ahead... for a few moments I wondered if I could do it...
I began thinking... would I be able to achieve this goal? There’s such alot of painting to do... yikes what have I committed to... I could feel the heaviness of the task ahead beginning to slow me down... picking up the brush was the first step... after a few brush strokes I realized the only way to complete the job was one brush stroke at a time...
I learned a very profound lesson that afternoon... I was committed to empowering change and it could only happen one step at a time... moment to moment I reminded myself the task at hand was easy, if I simply stayed present with each brush stroke...
I believe change evolves through the small steps we take each day to empower our vision. Some tasks may seem insurmountable at times, and yet, by making a commitment to begin and focus moment to moment on those things we have control over we can achieve anything...
In each moment of our lives we have choices for empowering change... one action at a time... we begin to create a new vision for ourselves... I learned if I looked ahead at what was left to be done, I felt defeated or overwhelmed by the task, however, when I simply appreciated the results moment to moment I found the resolve to continue and be a witness to the changes as they evolved...
The house looks beautiful... I feel happy with the result... I am thankful I could make a contribution... and feel empowered to support change in each moment, as my life unfolds...
I encourage you to take a step back as you begin to reflect on the changes or tasks you are ready to address and remind yourself of what has been accomplished in each moment and the end result will emerge with ease.
Today I...
Create a new vision for my life...
Focus on each task moment to moment...
Welcome change with ease...
And so it is...
