Tim Ferriss is a highly successful person.

 

He wrote The Four Hour Workweek and The Four Hour Body and others in the “Four Hour” series.

 

He has been podcasting for over a decade.

 

He noticed two specific traits most of them have in common.

 

#1 they meditate, and

 

#2 they say NO a lot…

 

“That means internal and external distractions are blocked off,” Ferriss adds.

 

It seems so much is about distractions.

 

We distract ourselves with “rabbit holes.”

 

Rabbit holes such as “monkey mind” thoughts.

 

Meditate appears to get us to focus our thoughts.

 

Saying NO can focus us on what is important rather than what others think is important or urgent.

That is the title of Byron Katie’s book.

 

Loving What Is.

 

So much is in turmoil in the world. How can I possibly love chaos, murder, mayhem, war?

 

How can I love people who hate, rob, rape, torture and pillage?

 

Here is how I see it…

 

Everything is perfect in its imperfection.

 

Perhaps the sages are right and we are all one.

 

Each of us is connected deeply, intimately, irrevocably with all other beings.

 

Each of us is a microcosm of the universe.

 

If so, then…

 

What is happening outside of me is a reflection of what is in me.

 

All the wars, diseases, government corruption, disagreements, lies, deceptions, cruelty, back stabbing…

 

All is a reflection of imbalances inside me.

 

If so, where is my most important work?

 

It can only be internal.

 

To work on myself. To rebalance myself.

 

To heal myself.

 

To become more loving.

 

To aim for become a being of pure love…

 

Radiating love as the sun radiates its warmth, powering life on earth.

 

Never doubt your divinity.

 

Never doubt your power beyond measure.

 

Never doubt that when you meditate and send love and peace to everyone and everything in the universe….

 

That you are bringing peace to the world.

 

Becoming a being of pure love…

 

Does that not mean also letting go of any and all fears?

 

I think so…

 

Finding the peace within, we radiate that peace out to the world.

 

In a time when talk of World War III is in the air…

 

Never doubt that you and I are changing the course of history…

 

Just by working on ourselves…

 

Releasing fear…

 

Becoming love.

 

Not just loving, but becoming pure love.

 

The does not care how much you ignore it, debase it or hate it…it keeps shining.

 

The flower we step on releases its delightful fragrance…

 

It cares not if we mishandle it or kill it, it continues to shower love on us with its last releases of fragrance.

 

No matter what horrible people or snakes are attacking us, can we love them anyway?

 

Can we Love What Is?

 

 

In Joy and Love
