Peace and purpose along the path. "Attack must be relinquished entirely. If it is not relinquished entirely, it is not relinquished at all." ~ A Course In Miracles There are many instances when you may get flustered and fall short in the realm of forgiveness and tranquility. God knows I have fallen short at times. I have seen how the inability to forgive these transgressions - no matter big or small - creates tension and anger, thus inhibiting us from being present, in the moment and happy. Fortunately having forgiven the killer of my son - a huge step - I have learned to be able to embrace the various other events that don't bring as much pain. Through the steady practice of forgiveness, for the large transgressions and the smaller annoyances, letting go can become a habit. Once we develop a high level of empathy for people and circumstances that upset us, we will make forgiveness a habit, which in turn will help us develop a calm and peaceful disposition. That peace is found when we can resolve that which exists beyond the agitation, anger and annoyance. That peace is found in the moment of the "now," apart from the past and the future. But what about the future? How do we make sure to keep our mind out of the future? I asked the Dalai Lama this. As an investment banker I am a strategist and a planner - so I am always planning. And we all know how that can be a trap. John Lennon's song Beautiful Boy says it all:"Life happens to you while you're busy making other plans." _______________________________________________ I must have faith that it is a better outcome than the one I wanted. __________________________________________________ So if I get an unwanted outcome I must have the faith that it is a better outcome than the one I wanted. In other words we can combine passionate desire with dispassionate detachment. In my third book - The Secrets of the Bulletproof Spirit - co-authored with Jillian Quinn - Chapter 19 "The Dance Between Desire and Detachment" outlines ways to develop the habit of holding intentions and accepting of the results. This is key to experience happiness in life. Be not in the past or future. Find yourself in the present. Allow for the little annoyances and practice forgiveness vigilantly and often - for any and all encounters that bring discord... until it becomes a habit. With a well-developed habit of forgiving the past, accepting what comes in the future, and living in the present moment, you will spend more time where happiness and bliss reside - right where you stand.

Dear Friend,
There are no small things, and there are no big things, on our path of clearing and forgiveness. Simply those things that trigger us and show us what we deeply need to embrace. When we do - wallah - welcome to the present moment, where all our happiness resides. Read more below on this, as well as the opportunity to be certified in our Train The Trainer Weekend event this month in San Diego.

QUOTE OF THE MONTH
Azim's Monthly Musings
What we must acknowledge is:

However - about 10 years ago I had a big "ah-ha" in a meditation. I got the message "Don't try to be present - try NOT to be in your past or future." If we do this, by default, we will be in the present. I was so excited about this revelation that I jumped up and down. I realized when we catch ourselves to be in the past or future we can identify with what keeps us preoccupied with unresolved issues. Once I got this revelation, I made daily entries in my journal for times when I was NOT in the present. Thirty days later when I reviewed my journal I was blown away. I was never in the past - I was always in the future.
This was exciting as I was halfway there. I get along with my family, my siblings, my ex wife and her family. I get along with the family of my son's killer. I have no axe to grind with anyone. I have resolved my past through forgiveness. The important thing to remember here is that you have to be complete and forgive all the issues in your past. Holding on to even petty grudges will inhibit you from being present and live life fully and happily.
The Dalai Lama told me the reason we are so preoccupied by the future is because we are attached to the outcomes we want to create in our lives: more money, more time, more love, more everything. He advised that while it is OK to desire, it is not OK to be attached to outcomes. He advised that I add the following language to my desires and outcomes: "If I do not get the outcome I desire, I want the outcome that is in the highest good for me, the person, and everyone involved."
