Inner Work

For the week of: June 9, 2003

Appreciation

            Indifference drains all the color from life. We tend to walk through our days with only a minimal contact with the life around us, our hearts encrusted by a ho-hum attitude: been there, done that, seen it all before. But an inescapable truth tells us that our days on this Earth are all too limited; each day we live means one less day left to live. This timeless truth can pierce our crust and soften our heart. We can live differently, relishing each day, each person, each living thing, each experience, and each opportunity. Appreciating our life, appreciating others, we live more fully, more responsibly, and more kindly. The ephemeral in our personal system of values evaporates, leaving behind the eternal values at the core of life.

            For this week, notice the extent to which you appreciate your life and the life around you.
