Being present for my life today is one of the most important things I can do to do experience inner peace.
Many of us unconsciously "put the blinders on" or bury our heads in the sand when it comes to changing things about ourselves which hold us back from reaching our goals or fulfilling our dreams. You know that old saying "ignorance is bliss"? Well it seems to me, once we do know what we are hiding from or not looking at and have brought light to it, that is when this saying's real meaning becomes apparent and we suddenly realize... its actually sarcasm!
Ignorance is soooo not bliss.
Bliss to me is finding the courage and strength (which is available to all of us in unlimited quantities if only we find enough faith to believe it) to direct my will power and self control to achieve the goals, dreams or vision I have for my life. But never getting to caught up in the actual how of it, just staying flexible and fluid to go where I am lead; knowing that if I pay attention and focus my intention on what I feel is the best possible way to proceed, success is inevitable.
Now "success" will be different for everyone and I use it loosely here.
But opening my eyes to all of me, releasing fear in order to access the unlimited courage and strength available to me, and using my determination, patience, will power and self control to work with this Strength (God if you like, I do ;) creates a whole new experience of life.
When I can operate in this space I do not have to worry about anything and I have so much more energy than I ever thought possible because I am not using up energy foolishly trying to hold my self back.

I recently heard a summary of what makes us happy as "having meaning in your life, having purpose". At times I cannot see the purpose, my faith is weak and fear pervades, and my goals seem cloudy. Othertimes, the moment, the purpose, my goals seem clear, and faith is strong. Life is a funny thing.
