Living on Purpose: One Rock at a Time
Summary
In our quest to accomplish everything perfectly, we often rush past the essence of life itself.Article
I recently returned from a rejuvenating week in Colorado, where I took time to relax, re-energize, and reflect on my core values. I stayed at a lodge called Peaceful Valley, which features a chapel accessible by a steep ten-minute hike?"a journey I’ve made many times. The view of the Rocky Mountains from the top is absolutely breathtaking.
One morning, I found myself rushing down the trail, nearly slipping on the rocky path. Realizing the danger, I paused, inhaled deeply, and began placing my feet intentionally, rock by rock. Despite being in a hurry, I chose to focus on each step. This process became a meditative practice, centering me in the present moment. As I slowed down, I became acutely aware of my surroundings?"the rustling wind, the chatter of birds and squirrels, and the sunlight filtering through the golden aspens.
The experience made me realize the value of being present. I thought about how I could embody this mindfulness more often: feeling my foot on the rock, the steering wheel in my hands, even being fully present at a stoplight rather than mentally rushing ahead to my destination. I started questioning the value of constant multitasking; perhaps the real challenge lies in being fully present in one place at a time.
Reflect for a moment: How aware are you of the present? Does life rush by so quickly that you miss important moments? Pause right now and take a deep breath. Inhale for a count of five, and exhale slowly for another five. Remember, life is happening now?"neither in the past nor the future.
