On Paying Attention

My life seemed to be operating at lightening speed.

Operating at lightening speed I unknowingly shifted into automatic pilot.

Operating at lightening speed seemed like survival.

Operating at lighten speed simply did not work.

Operating at lightening speed I stopped paying attention.

I have become a fan of crisis.

I have become a fan of crisis, because it woke me up.

I have become a fan of crisis, because it got me to start paying attention.

Today I know so much more because I pay attention.

Today I know that I need to be careful of what I think, because I know my thoughts do make a difference.

Today I know that I need to be careful what I feel, because I know my feelings do make a difference.

Today I know I need to be careful what I do, because I know my actions do make a difference.

Today I know I need to be careful of the environments I put myself in, because I know the environments I put myself in do make a difference.

Today I know I need to be careful who I spend time with, because I know who I spend time with makes a difference.

Today I know I can not solve challenges with the same consciousness that I created them with.

Today I know that what I attract into my life is a reflection of my consciousness.

Today I know that even when I am paying attention, I might not be paying attention to what is most useful for me to be paying attention to.

Today I know I need other people who care about me and will tell me when I have drifted off course.

Today I know that there is a difference between getting to a good place in life and staying in a good place in life.

Today I know I need to have regular practices in my life to stay connected to the preciousness of life.

Today I know that when I am paying attention I do not need a crisis to connect me with what is right for me.

Today I listen to the quiet voice of my soul.

Today I listen to others.

Today I listen to the results in my life to tell me if I am on track.

Today I listen to my creator.

Today I have a greater reverence for all of life, including my own.

Today having a greater reverence for life is not simply something I do, it is who I am.

Today I show up more fully in my life.

Today I allow my life to be my message.
