Most of us begin our days with a continuous list of things we need to do to keep our lives running smoothly, but we rarely take time to note all the things we don't need to do. For example, we don't need to figure out how to breathe. We don't need to find a way to make sure the earth continues to revolve around the sun. We don't need to concentrate to ensure that our heart beats and our cells regenerate. All of these things, and many more, take care of themselves without our having to think or do anything at all. This is the miracle of life on earth.
We take so much for granted. We do not appreciate sometimes the simplest things in our lives that bring us so much pleasure. We do not seem to realize that we have so much more than most people in the world.
We must understand that we must appreciate our lives and the things that bring pleasure in our lives, like love, friendship and shopping. We must appreciate the things in life that bring smiles to our faces and warm out hearts with pleasure and happiness. Only then will we all be able to appreciate and love the life we live.
The things we enjoy to do cannot be taken away from us. The things we enjoy to the most are tools to help heal and cleanse the soul. Unfortunately as people, we do not carry ultimate perfection. We all carry with us some types of flaws, what I call old wounds. But to live positively in a society of imperfection we must focus on things we enjoy, and overlook and discard our inner and outward flaws.
