Mistakes do not define you.
Falling down is an accident. Staying down is a choice.

Forget the mistakes. Remember the lessons.

Better an “oops” than a “what if?”
Aah . . . that’s better!
The Ghosts of Yesterday May 7, 2021
Posted by nrhatch in Humor, Mindfulness, People, Poetry.20 comments
Sometimes we want to go “back in time”
We yearn for days of yore
It can be challenging to embrace “here” and “now”
When ghosts from the past beckon
With childhood scents and sounds

I NEED A TIME MACHINE!
Alas!
The book of life doesn’t include a Rewind button
Or a Fast Forward
We live it or we miss it.
Go on ~> Turn the Page.

Aah . . . that’s better!

Like A Mandala April 27, 2021

Like a Mandala
We must let go of the past
As it emerges
How caught up are you in your story? How much time do you spend defending your reputation with others? Are you ready to let it all go?

Come into the present and Just Be. Notice the underlying feeling of pleasure that saturates the palette of your mind.
It has nothing to do with your story. It is unaffected by your reputation.
It doesn’t come from somewhere and it can’t go anywhere. It exists outside time and space.
It is always there and will never leave you. It is eternal.
When you let go of all thoughts and mindfully observe . . . you’ll catch a glimpse of this very subtle sensation of joy.
Aah . . . that’s bliss!

Be happy for no reason.
Happy is the new Rich!
Life is better when you’re laughing.
That’s the ticket! You’re killing it!
Aah . . . that’s better!

You are enough.
Be patient with yourself.
Progress is better than perfection.
Nothing in nature blooms all year.
Grow your dreams like flowers . . . dirt and all.
