Awareness
Give every day the chance to become the most beautiful in
your life. Mark Twain.
We are what we think – every day, the thoughts that
arise in our minds become our awareness. Thus, it
makes sense to spend some time at the start of each
day in composing ourselves into a peaceful frame of
mind, where we recognise the gratitude for our lives
and review our expectations for the day ahead. Will
I make time each day to compose my thoughts and
review my attitudes and expectations?
Self-awareness leads to self-knowledge. I watch
how I react to other people. If I become angry, I ask
myself: why? If I am anxious, I explore the reasons.
Gradually, I start to identify feelings that have been
distorted by my thinking.
A farmer once put the egg of an eagle into a chicken coop
and the bird grew up thinking that it was a chicken.
One day, another eagle flew high overhead and the
eagle-chicken thought to itself:
I wish I could do that, but I’m just an ordinary chicken.
It never learnt to fly. Anon.
We are not chickens. Today I will use the powers of
understanding that have been given to me, so that I
will recognise reality in my life.
