Magic in the Mirror / The Beauty of the Little Things in Life / Friday: Half Price Books and Movie: Call of the Wild

The Treasure
of our Lives,
is in our Love
for one another,
and in the moment
we realize –
we are Magic.

Wherever
your Heart is,
there you will find your Treasure,
and everything you have learned
along the way
will finally make
sense.

Yes,
there is Magic
in the mirror
of memories
we share
with this moment,
the one we call
Today,
and Magic in Tomorrow,
the reflection of
this day.

Life
is but a moment
filled with
the Majesty of
Magic.

There is Magic
in EVERY moment:
the moment you play
a Song,
every time you
pet you Dog,
every time
you Forgive someone,
every Time
you take a leap of
Faith,
and every Time
you say Amen.

                    The mirror of the memories.

There is Magic
in the moment
you fall in Love,
and every Time
a Dream comes True,
in every beat
of your precious Heart,
in everything you do,
and everyone you meet.
.
There is Pure Magic
in finding delight
in every Sunrise
and every day,
and
in every Prayer
you Pray.

My Dear Friends,
there is Magic
in the every Time
you say Hello,
and the last Time
you say
Goodbye.

We Live
in a Web woven of Magic,
intertwined and related
by golden filaments of chance
and circumstance.

Don’t
live in the past
or the future.
Live
only in the present.
If you can be always
in the present,
you will be Happy.
Life will be
what you want,
what you Pray for.
Because Life
is
the moment
we are living now.

Listen to your
Heart.

It is aware
of all things.
It came from
your Father in Heaven Above,
and it will one day
return.

Your Heart is beating
for this moment in Time.
Look deeply
and you
will see Forever
in a single drop of rain.
And in the same
glimpse of ever and ever,
look down deep inside of you.
There is a Spark
of the Creator.
He Lives
in every Living Thing.

      Forever in a single drop of rain.

You have inside
the wind and the fire,
the Sun and the Stars,
and everything God desires.
He created you
and your Universe.
He made us
in His Image
and by the same Hand.

“The ability to be
in the present moment

is a major component
of mental wellness.”
~ Abraham Maslow

There is Magic
in EVERY moment.
Yes,
Magic
in Love
and Life.
There is Magic
in the moment
your realize
God
Loves you.
.

There is
the Magic of God
in
YOU.

Goodnight.

The pursuit of happiness makes us strive for more all the time. And once we’ve accomplished a certain goal that promised great happiness, we are already pursuing the next one.

This kind of attitude focuses our attention on the things we do not have and tricks us into believing that by adding these things to our lives, happiness will emerge. It is a way of thinking that makes it quite difficult to be quite happy in the present moment. Similarly, it can result in greater levels of discontent when we are not able to attain what we desire.

It also shifts our attention far away from the present moment and all the beautiful joys that can be found in it.

The ability to draw happiness from the little things in life also has a lot to do with gratitude. If you are able to center your attention on all the beautiful aspects that are already to be found in your life, you will become a much more grateful person.

“The small things of life were often so much bigger than the great things… The trivial pleasure like cooking, one’s home, little poems especially sad ones, solitary walks, funny things seen and overheard.”
                                                 – Barbara Pym

Being grateful for the little things is a unique skill to not only be content with your Life but also to be less dependent on the outcome of external circumstances.

It marks the first step towards discovering the true source of Happiness which lies within.
