Living In Moments

I once wrote a Buddhist friend "We all live to the fullest in different moents in our daily lives. It's being able to do so consistently, that is what we strive for."

He responded "...that all our joys and all our hells can be maintained through consistent thought, but without consistent thought on changing the habits that got us into living hells, the only consistent thought will be on maintaining the thoughts that keep us there."

Most of the time we're not aware that we are living in a specific moment because that moment comes and goes in a second. It is being able to consciously recognize a specific moment, whether it's good or bad, that enables us to make changes. What is good could be bad and visa versa.

The consistency that I'm striving for is to embrace the moment and let it go.
