By fully tuning in to the now moment in your life, you will discover that you always have enough to enjoy every moment of your life. The only reason you have not been happy every instant is that you have been dominating your consciousness with thoughts about something you don't have- or trying to hold on to something that you do have but which is no longer appropriate in the present flow of your life.

Upgrade your addictions to the status of preferences. Here's the distinction between an addiction and a preference.

Expand your love, your consciousness, and your loving compassion by experiencing everything that everyone does or says as though you had done or said it.

Conscious people always have a choice of whether to try to modify the actions of people around them or to change their response to the incoming stimuli.

Love is not a matter of what happens in life. It's a matter of what's happening in your heart.

By tuning in to your minute-to-minute stream of consciousness, you discover the addictions that make you worried, anxious, resentful, uptight, afraid, angry, bored, etc. You thus use every uncomfortable emotion as an opportunity for consciousness growth. Even though you may still be feeling emotional and uptight, you begin to get at the roots of your ups and downs - your brief bits of pleasure and your long periods of unhappiness.

I welcome the opportunity (even if painful) that my minute to minute experience offers me to become aware of the addictions I must reprogram to be liberated from my robot-like emotional patterns.
