Art of living well

One of the major reasons why we fail to find happiness or to create unique lifestyle is because we have not yet mastered the art of being. Even when we reach home, our thoughts are still absorbed with solving the challenges we face at the office or on the road while driving back.  And when we are at the office we find ourselves worrying about problems at home. We go through the day without really listening to what others are saying to us.  We may be hearing the words, but we aren't absorbing the message.

As we go through the day we find ourselves focusing on past experiences or future possibilities.  We are so involved in yesterday and tomorrow that we never even notice that today is slipping by.

Lifestyle is learning to be wherever you are.  It is developing a unique focus on the current moment, and drawing from it all the substance and wealth of experience and emotions that it has to offer.  Lifestyle is taking time to watch a sunset.  Lifestyle is listening to silence.  Lifestyle is capturing each moment so that it becomes a new part of what we are and of what we are in the process of becoming.  Lifestyle is not something we do; it is something we experience.  And until we learn to be there, we will never master the art of living well.
