11th Discovery about life in 2013

Life is not the struggle my thoughts tell me it is.


With all my discoveries lately I am realizing that most of my struggles are simply in my thoughts. The thoughts that come to me at times make me upset. 

Letting go of those thoughts worked for awhile but new thoughts of me being upset kept coming. 

Then one day I was reminded of the words I read once "I am not my thoughts". Then I remembered I am the seer, the doer. The thoughts are in my mind, but they are not me. I am the same person I was at 3 years old. I am here to discover and live this wonderful life. And at that moment I stopped listening to those thoughts in my mind and lived in the moment of what I was seeing and doing. Wow what a difference. I didn't feel any anger about the things I judged to be unfair. For I was filled with the moment and what I was doing with that moment. 

In my smash book, I find the words I wrote once.

Life is not a Battle

It just is....

breathing
seeing
hearing 
feeling
tasting
smelling

Life is a gift from God!
