Living in The Moment
August 2007 | Filed under General Interest
Use the skill of bringing your attention to any situation with an intense “single-mindedness.” Focus on one object/task at a time. In doing so, you will also be cultivating the virtue of wholeheartedness, and living in the moment. This means that when someone demands your attention, you do not deal with h/her superficially while wishing that you were doing something else, or wishing you were some place else. By focusing your unwavering attention upon the situation at hand, you will notice that you are better able to help, or better able to see what the “real story” is. This clarity of mind is said to lead to direct perception, where we can see things as they truly are. This also leads to a truly intimate and open relationship with the people in your life.
