Be a witness

July 18, 2007 in Uncategorized

Sometimes we expend energy by reacting when stillness is called for.

"Just stay focused. Don’t react. Just be a witness and you will see the magic of it." – Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji

Slow down. Respond, don’t react. Sit still. Be a witness. See magic.

You have made two posts in a row that I needed to see –

– life presents many things … good and bad if you will … and we have to deal with it as it comes; and
– if you create some space to respond instead of reacting, you can handle those good and bad things with skill

Thanks for the reminders.
