Feb. 5 2014

I am reminded today of the Buddha sitting under the Bodhi Tree in deep mediation while Mara is throwing huge boulders at him and he is not moved. He still is at peace. I'm not advocating being in harms way but the analogy is: if someone is pushing your buttons, the button doesn't have to depress and turn on!!! Be the Buddha. We always have a choice. I know, easier said than done BUT I noticed today after a boulder was being hurled, even though my body still tensed, I stayed as calm as I could only by noticing and being aware of what was happening and making a choice NOT TO REACT. That's the first step for me.

Dear God,

Please give me the awareness to stay calm in the middle of my buttons being pushed. Help me to not react and to see and know the real truth and act out of divine love, wisdom and direction. Help me to help myself so that I may be an example for others and bring more harmony and peace to this world.
I ask all this in accordance to your Divine Will for myself, my sweetheart, my family, my friends, all whom I come in contact with today and the whole world. Amen.
