Adoration, Equanimity, Focus

One thing that is lacking in the lives of most people in the world is a sense of equanimity and balance. Instead of having a steady focus on their purpose in life they seem to be tossed about by each and every stimulus that comes their way. They allow so many things to affect their mood that they actually have little or no control of their life. They are affected by the weather, the stock market, the news of the day, and so many other things that have little true relevance to their real purpose for being, but in this way their life passes by with little or nothing to show for it. Just see the time that is absolutely wasted in useless frivolity and baseless worry. Instead you must remain focused on your true calling in life. The best way to remain focused is to adopt an attitude of loving adoration for God. When you love someone do you need to be reminded to think of them and do things for them? Of course not. You are thinking of that person constantly and every thought is about how to make that person happy. If you simply adopt the same attitude toward God that you have with the early stages of infatuation of a loving relationship then there will be no thought of losing your focus to material trivia. When you place your love in God you don’t have to worry about whether or not that love will be reciprocated or not. One small step made by you will bring you more joy than you can even imagine. When you express adoration for God the results in your life will be amazing. Even if what comes your way seems to be material disaster you can remain calm and focused in your love, knowing that what is being given to you is simply God’s mercy in a form that will help you grow and will ultimately be for your benefit, no matter how difficult it may seem at the time. Remain focused and see how wonderful life is when you place God always at the center of your thoughts and actions.
