The Secret of Life
When we are young we imagine that life is going to last forever. As we get older we see clearly that we have a limited number of years here. Our time in this body is not infinite. Time itself is infinite, and We are, too-but our time in this particular body is not. This, then, is the Gift. This, then, is the Treaure. Time in this body is the Treasure of Treasures.
At some point during that time we realize that each moment is golden. We see that every second is meant for something-or, at the very least, can be used for something that is quite good. That is, in fact, extraordinary. Each second can be used for the molding and the creating and the experiencing of The Self in its Next Grandest Version.
We do not have to continue replaying the versions of the past. We do not have to be who we always were. We do not have to continue as we have been, acting as we have been, believing what we have been, accepting what we have been, becoming what we have been. We do not have to remain the same. Not from year to year, not from month to month, not even from week to week or day to day. Not even, truth be told, from second to second.
The great secret of life is that we can change ourselves and change our lives in a second. We can engage in the process of Self Creation from moment to moment. In fact, we are doing so, whether we want to be or not. This is happening. It is not a question of whether it is going on, it is merely a question of whether we know it is going on, and of whether we are watching it or causing it. ~ Neale Donald Walsch
