its within you

"I cannot tell you any spiritual truth that deep within you don't know already. All I can do is remind you of what you have forgotten" Eckhart Tolle

We go to great lengths to find the answers. We travel to far places, we read books, seek counseling, we look and look for the answers. And the truth is that we already have them. We already know what we should so but we look for someone outside of us to tell us, to validate us. I’m not saying we don’t need guidance or support. I’m saying we just need to be still more and be available and willing to listen to what is going on inside.
You know that if you want to look good and feel good then you need to eat better and do some form of exercise. You know if you want to be successful than you have to work at it. You have to be committed and diligent about what you’re doing.
We know all of these things yet we struggle. What is that? Why? Is it our environment? Are there just so many distractions that you can’t focus? Or are you looking for the easy way? I guess at any given time it could be any of these answers for me at least. It’s interesting when you write it out. It seems so simple.
So what if I was to say you have everything you need and you know everything you need to know to create a life you love, today! Not tomorrow, not when you get your ducks in a row but today. Did you immediately go to what you don’t have? You have all of the answers and you know what you need to do. Me too! So let’s do it!
Today I am grateful for my morning meditation.
