A lot of us peer into the uncertain future as though into a fog. If there is a God, then maybe one of the most valuable gifts s/he gave us is not knowing everything that’s waiting for us.  If so, perhaps a divine entity is laughing at us as we peer into tomorrow and is wondering why we don't pay more attention to today.

Try: If you spend too much time in the future, stop now and then to check in with what you are seeing, feeling, hearing, touching right now in this real moment.

Yesterday's Daily Bell
Comparing what we've got with what we want or wanted can sometimes lead us to make beneficial changes - but watch out: comparisons that go on endlessly trap us in permanent dissatisfaction. At that point it’s time to let go of the comparisons.

New book on the way: Acceptance - Create Change and Move Forward

How I use the Daily Bell
"The daily bell sets me up for the day.   I read it on waking and it helps me to start my day in a positive, kind, compassionate way.   I remind myself all the time about what I read. It is a great help in self regulation." KL
