... contemplate that in a very real way, this may actually be the best season, the best moment of your life ... If that was so, what would it mean for you? |
From Jon Kabat-Zinn's Wherever You Go, There You Are, part 1 chapter 4, "This Is It" ... in a larger context:
TRY: Reminding yourself from time to time: "This is it." See if there is anything at all that it cannot be applied to. Remind yourself that acceptance of the present moment has nothing to do with resignation in the face of what is happening. It simply means a clear acknowledgment that what is happening is happening. Acceptance doesn't tell you what to do What happens next, what you choose to do, that has to come out of your understanding of this moment. You might try acting out of a deep knowing of "This is it." Does it influence how you choose to proceed or respond? Is it possible for you to contemplate that in a very real way, this may actually be the best season, the best moment of your life? If that was so, what would it mean for you?
