Good morning.

God morning to you.

I think the biggest challenge that we face is letting go of the idea that something is wrong right now or that something is missing or has been delayed

or that if that one thing happened, then you'd be okay, then it would be okay, then you could

relax, you'd be happy. But if you think back, your whole life has been kind of in this limbo of

waiting. And I know you've read all the same books I've read. You know that it's like happiness

is just around the corner all the time. When you're in high school, you can't wait to graduate,

right? When you graduate, you can't wait to get a

great job. You can't wait to find someone, to marry them, to get the house, to get the child, the children,

the pets, the retirement, everything. It's just waiting for the next, praying for the next.

And while you're living in what you had prayed for,

you're uneasy, your head is on the swivel, you're looking, trying to see around the next

corner instead of relaxing and enjoying where you are. And a lot of that is fear of what will happen

if I feel contentment.

Will I become lazy?

Will things stop working?

Will they stop moving forward?

If I'm not constantly engaged in making things better, what would happen if you just

show up today and radiated this love.

The only thing that you know for sure is that only love is here.

And you don't know how you can't say how it's gotten you here, how it's carried you through.

You've met with disappointment,
