Calmly Observe - (Shared by my friend Barry Tan)

If you calmly observe, you will more clearly see situations for what they really are.

*****************************************************************

How many times when we have allowed our past experiences and paradigms to demarkate and judge our present moments?

To do this is to almost experience life in a well. Like that folk tale of a frog that lives in a well, only knowing that the sky is as big as the mouth of the well. Could you imagine the number of opportunities that you could have not seen or could have missed out, because of a paradigmed and conditioned mindset?

Free your mind. Free your mind and allow a non-judgemental awareness to take over. To calmly observe is to observe in the mind of a new-born baby, To see and judge every predictament or situation with an unbiased point-of-view. In this way, you will allow yourself to see situations for what they really are.

Do know that there's always two sides to a coin; and a flipside to every situation, problem or occurence? A Yin-Yang example of opposites and underlying meanings. Could there have been a lesson that you could have rejoiced about?
