See Progress - We Are Moving Forward - Kathy Caprino

See Improvement - We Are Moving Forward I read toward the beginning of today Rick Hanson's wonderful bulletin Only One Thing â€" a year of week after week practices to assist us with developing in satisfaction, love and insight. This piece was tied in with Seeing Improvement, and it was an emollient for my spirit â€" exactly what the doctored ordered. I woke up feeling especially hard on myself for the missteps I've made these previous years, and the harder I was on myself, the more regrettable I felt. I went to my PC, and saw Rick's email, and it halted me in my (self-whipping) tracks. He helped me recollect that, in little ways, our reality is showing signs of improvement, my reality is getting better. We are gaining ground, developing ourselves, helping other people, making change, discovering arrangements, tending to problems. It's not all fate and melancholy and dim occasions, as the media thus numerous on the planet might want us to accept. I feel so much better, recalling that progress is being made. Here's Rick's wonderful piece underneath â€" I trust it causes you as it did me, and urges you to see such's improving and moving in your life. See Improvement â€" Just One Thing How about we defeat our scholarly weakness, and reinforce our versatility by making sure to perceive what is improving. Towards that end, I concluded that today (stuck here in the day off) start perusing something supporting and elevating, and I picked A Return to Love, by Marianne Williamson. My dear companion Susie Horgan prescribed it to me. I had gotten it years back, yet never opened it, and there it lay on my rack. I opened the book to discover this: Love is the thing that we were brought into the world with. Dread is the thing that we have learned here. The profound excursion is the surrender â€" or unlearningâ€"of dread and the acknowledgment of affection again into our hearts. Love is the basic existential fact. It is our definitive reality and our motivation on earth. To be deliberately mindful of it, to encounter love in ourselves as well as other people, is the significance of life. Ok… I'm going to adore this book and this day.
