Wherever You Are, Be There by Jim Rohn

One of the major reasons why we fail to find happiness or to create unique
lifestyle is because we have not yet mastered the art of being.

While we are home our thoughts are still absorbed with solving the
challenges we face at the office. And when we are at the office we find
ourselves worrying about problems at home.

We go through the day without really listening to what others are saying to
us. We may be hearing the words, but we aren't absorbing the message.

As we go through the day we find ourselves focusing on past experiences or
future possibilities. We are so involved in yesterday and tomorrow that we
never even notice that today is slipping by.

We go through the day rather than getting something from the day. We are
everywhere at any given moment in time except living in that moment in time.

Lifestyle is learning to be wherever you are. It is developing a unique
focus on the current moment, and drawing from it all the substance and
wealth of experience and emotions that it has to offer. Lifestyle is taking
time to watch a sunset. Lifestyle is listening to silence. Lifestyle is
capturing each moment so that it becomes a new part of what we are and of
what we are in the process of becoming. Lifestyle is not something we do;
it is something we experience. And until we learn to be there, we will
never master the art of living well.


To Your Success,
Jim Rohn
