Blessed or cheated?

[Guest guest]

I am blessed for having stopped and read this post. I was just telling myself

hurry up and make a decision. I always said sometimes to's time to have a slice

of pie other times, it's time to make a whole new pie.

Sometimes, its ok to just be present with no worry of decision. The next will

show up when we least expect it if were open and not in the labeling time.

Hi Randy:-)that was a wonderful email. jazakallah khair:-)The only certainty we have in life is death. I don't feel cheated in that respect as no matter what life we have here, and what personal hardships, our end is the same for every being. Though some of us seem more put together than others, though some of us do not have struggles like others, who knows tomorrow who is in a better position as far as suffering goes. I feel a sense of gratitute becoz i have the freedom to choose how i want my journey in this world to be. If i die tomorrow, i don't want to regret that i wish i had just one more day, one more, to do all that i longed to do in life. I don't want to wait for anything, neither good times to come my way, nor my hardships to be gone for good. I want to make every moment memorable for myself, whether it is a moment of happiness, or it is a moment of sorrow. Success can be in both situations, earlier- enjoying happiness as it comes ur way, and later, being kind and compassionate towards urself for experiencing pain. You c, in both ways i c myself as a winner. I looove The e.g. that dr. harris mentions in his book, about the 2 boys going to disneyland. the 1st kid is unhappy becoz he is focused on WHERE HE IS NOT. The other simply focuses on WHERE HE IS NOW and how to make the most of it. What struck me about this e.g. was if their car breaks down, and they NEVER make it, only the latter has still reaped the rewards, as he chose to make the most out of his journey. wasalaam:-)-K Designs.To: ACT_for_the_Public From: usable.thought@...Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2011 21:37:51 +0000Subject: Blessed or cheated?

This morning at 6:00 a.m., I find myself taking a last quiet tour of

the grounds of the rustic art colony my partner helps manage, and for

which I volunteer, here in mid-state NY. It is only a 2 minute walk

from the main building up to our little cabin in the woods; the dirt

road is lined by tall trees going back into hundreds of acres of

woods. Owls and bears and coyotes and wild turkeys and maybe a bobcat

or two if you know where and how to look.
