I would like this week’s focus of mindfulness to be what I would like to term “radical humility” being the opposite of Jim Collin’s hubris, or outrageous arrogance.  I would like all of us, especially me, to turn our hearts with gratitude to God for giving us our breath, talent, desires, strength, rather than feel that it emanates from ourselves.  As a human, we all are limited creatures but we invoke the power of God or our own spirituality (which these blogs are centered on) and we are reflections of our Creator.

As you know, I do not talk directly about religion or politics in these blogs because they are conversations that ultimately lead to division or offense.  Instead, I am talking about a spiritual consciousness that we can live and breathe this week whatever our religious persuasion, or even lack thereof.  We can be mindful this week of being radically humble in the face of our perceived accomplishments or whatever makes us prideful.  Replace that emotion with gratitude for what we have and say a prayer or meditation about how we can be thankful for where we are today.  Be radically humble this week with me and set the intention for that starting this week and move that forward into our lives in full.

namaste,
sml
