  Sharon Salzberg said, "Mindfulness isn't difficult. We just need to remember to do it." I posted a message on my Instagram account the other day that had two images. An image of a man where his mind's thoughts was cluttered of all the different things he needs to do, worry, stress, distraction, and another idea from this man with trees and the sun and nothing else.

  We need to take a moment every day to be mindful and grateful for all the good in our lives. And when we focus on the good, on the grace, on the joy, on the love, on the pureness, we create more of that in our lives.

Not only how you want to show up when things are good, but how do you want to respond when things aren't going your way? How are you going to respond in a powerful, peaceful, graceful, loving way? Robin Sharma said, "Everything is created twice, first in the mind and then in reality. If our mind is cluttered first, our life be cluttered second."

  If our mind is peaceful first, the chances are high that we will create peace in our life. Everything is created twice, first in the mind and then in reality. Take a moment to be intentional, grounded, and mindful.
