"The present moment is the substance with which the future is made. Therefore, the best way to take care of the future is to take care of the present moment."
-Thich Nhat Hanh, The Art of Mindful Living
Good Morning,
Are you present?
..I know you're here, but are you present...?
Presence is the state of being somewhere. Your style of being there ...your demeanor or bearing. Presence is usually a physical thing. Presence is also described as being fully conscious, flexible, and able to engage in a spontaneous relationship with your surroundings.
How present are you right now?
It's Friday, and I encourage you today to be present:
Take a deep breath and exhale slowly... Sit with your thoughts for a moment .... Do it again... deep breath... allow your mind to slow down.... exhale... be present in this moment...
Are you ready?
Thought provoking questions challenge us to live more consciously and create a more meaningful existence.
RULES: Read the question and formulate an answer... Do NOT move to the next question until you have an answer. (*Have fun with it... you might be surprised what you learn about yourself. Then, pose the questions to others today*.)
Will the future be much better than the present?
...think about that for a moment and be able to explain your answer...
Life today is already much better than it was 50 years ago when considering advancements we made in technology and medicine... right...?
Will this rapid progress continue in the future so that our descendants will lead much better lives than we do today?
...what are your thought... any implications...?
What would this life look like 20 years in the future?
...technology...media...space travel...?
How will you intentionally be more present today?
Start the conversation with someone at work today that you have not had a chance to get to know! Be present... Watch what happens!
#presence, #intention, #levelup, #leadership, #mindfulness, #learnandgrow, #TGIF, #shareyourgifts, #justdoit, #bepresent
