A number of years ago I had been reading one of Deepak Chopras books and discovered his live in the present moment principle. That discovery alone opened a significant door to new thinking for me.

I have shared with friends numerous times of a day when I experienced happiness and peace like no other before. I had several appointments with insurance clients and was driving from one to the other when I paused in my thinking long enough to realize that I was really peaceful, very calm and happy. As I examined this emotional state further, I saw that I was very in the moment not dreading the next appointment or upset by the one that had just passed.

It was a mid-winter day in Denver, one of those in which we were blessed with bright sunshine, cool temperatures and constant views of the snowcapped Rockies just a few miles away. Ive lived in this area most all of my life and never tire of the beauty of the mountains and plains merging.

On this particular day, I was working on Chopras concepts because they appealed greatly to me; I wanted to live a peaceful, calm, and happy life every day. This seemed like an insurmountable task after a recent divorce.

At that time, I viewed my business as one of interminable service to many clients who were grumpy. Now many years later, Ive realized it was me who was grumpy, and I attracted clients of a similar attitude.

Learning to live in the present was a baby step in the long walk toward the Law of Attraction. That one-day years ago was my first adventure into a daylong smile, filled with nice people, pleasant surroundings, good food, and a feeling of downright bliss about life, my life.

The journey to discovery of metaphysical principles is often one of brief explosions of fabulous, new knowledge, and then many days of trying to understand what youve really discovered.

Since the basic tenet of the Law of Attraction is learning to maintain a happy outlook and attract the wonderful things available in this life, we first have to learn to be in the happy in the present moment. With that one accomplishment you can begin to move rapidly to new, higher levels of understanding and enlightenment.

There have been many authors, philosophers and metaphysicians along my journey who contributed to an understanding which enabled me to accept the Law of Attraction when it was first presented. I was ready for it. It made tremendous sense, and I can now say, without hesitation, that I attracted it without knowing it.

We all get here by different routes and the trip is definitely worth it. Dont give up, ever.

Anyway you look at it; its fun to ponder.
