I am taking exception to todays to do list, and I am kind of taking inventory of all inner wealth, wonder, awakening, and so many, many inner gifts… just a stunning amount of untouched, untapped pure potential, untouched by the daily demands…
“Radical Acceptance is the ability to face hardships with greater love and deeper awareness.
Contemplation shapes radical acceptance as a way to choose love and peace over anger and despair.

In response to Kathi’s post:
Kathi I think you are absolutely correct. We all have a stunning amount of untouched, untapped pure potential, untouched by daily demands. So my question is how do we make time to explore and then act or express some of that pure positive potential that I believe can be so vital to both ourselves and the world in general?
Words are like seeds. When you write them out, they grow into your dreams and spark the imagination of others.
What comes to my mind is TIME!!! Wouldn’t it be great if we got wise earlier in life. I wonder if our lives were longer if we would make better use of our time or if we would just make more excuses. We have so much potential and so many paths we could take, but, our clock is ticking away. I hope we really do have souls that go on. If we do and we get to go through “life” enough times maybe we get a little better each time. Maybe we get to wisdom a little earlier each time we restart. Wouldn’t it be neat if that were true, and that each time we took the trip, the trip itself was just a little longer? Wouldn’t it be great to know that that were true and that we are all just working our way toward our ideal selves?
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

Yes, “time” is exceedingly precious…
But, it is the gift of who we are and what we have done with ALL that we were given…!
In response to SRWE: I do so believe that our soul does move on. Two planes have been largely identified: Heaven and one beyond Heaven is Nirvana. “Devachan” is the goal of the majority of men.
But, back to the thread, and the inquiry, there really is so much that we do not explore because of our life style. And still, we have this enormous inner wealth, where we could all touch our inner greatness and effect change in the world, even in small ways. And, its not so much that we cause change but rather that we ARE the change…

I believe every time we overcome, we effect change within.
Every time we trust, the world provides! It may look like we are trusting the world, but is that the inner world or is it the outer world that we are trusting?
Every time we choose peace, kindness, compassion, forgiveness, it is our greatness and our inner radiance that flourishes within.
