The Short and Incredibly Happy Life of Riley

The simplest thing we teach is that the only moment is now. The hardest thing we teach is being in the present moment, because life is so full of distractions. Between this thought and the next thought is where we find our Connection. That is why practicing meditation is so important. We all long for a greater experience of the Infinite, a greater experience of God, a greater experience of Wholeness. We need to become that clean, hollow vessel. This means looking at things in our lives that are limiting our experience. The portal to the present moment is gratitude. Let us find things around us to be grateful about. Learn to be happy with less. Ernest Holmes put it simply: "Through the process of thinking, we are either repelling or attracting the life we want to live."
