Getting married, having a child, choosing a course of
study, a job, even a best friend… These are all important decisions that you
make throughout your life. But
your existence is not made only of important decisions. Every little choice
that you make during the
day, like what to cook for dinner or where to go for a walk, has a place in the
planning of your life. Whatever you do, try to be aware of it, and endeavor to
do it to your best. Einstein once said: “When I tie my shoe-laces I put all my
attention (= awareness) in what I am doing”. Can you try to acquire a better awareness of every action (what you do),
of its motivation (why you do it), and its performance (how you do it)? If you
succeed in achieving this kind of consciousness, your daily life will become
richer and more fulfilling. You will be “in the present”, in the NOW , rather than “somewhere else”.
