Every day I cultivate my life experience.
I like to think of the word “cultivate” as “do”.
What I do is what I develop and strengthen.
How I live every day influences the way I will live in the future.
How I live every day determines how I feel about the past.
What I do every day but more importantly how I do it, is a choice easy to forget that I have.
Am I kind or rude? Talking or listening? Paying attention or absent-minded? Compassionate or indifferent? Tolerant or idealistic? Focused or scattered? Relaxed or tense? Calm or anxious? Happy or sad? Active or inert?
By concentrating on certain aspects and attributes of our life and our being we can create habitual reactions that we would like to have.
By making an effort to smile, to listen to others, to pay attention and notice the good side of things, it becomes infinitely easier to do it in a more natural, effortless way. Almost automatically.
What is your choice? What do you cultivate?
Life goes by very quickly. Be an artist and a co-creator of your daily experiences.
