Me and Mrs Croft both bought each other the same Christmas present this year: a page-a-day calendar.
😂
Not the same one, you understand. Mine is the Richard Carlson Don't Sweat the Small Stuff one, and hers is Anna Przy's Keep It Up, Cutie! calendar.
It seems we both enjoy ‘daily reminders’ (polite cough) of how awesome we are, and how much easier life is than our minds make out!
Mine's next to my desk in my office, my wife's is in the kitchen and I spotted this one of hers from the other day, that made me smile:
“Sometimes finding yourself is just remembering who you were before the entire world told you who you should be.”
In fact, it was so on-message that I had to double check it wasn't my page-a-day I was looking at! 😆
But it just goes to show, we're all essentially saying the same thing, in our own special way. We're all pointing back to the principles behind life.
I've written before about how everything is a metaphor: art, film, religion, music … and certainly these daily love letters I send out to you all.
And that's because there's only really one thing going on, in all our various activities as humans – to get back in touch with who we really are; our ‘inner self’ or True Nature.
As Syd Banks said:
“And in this game of life, we all search for our selves. When I say selves, I mean inner selves, the thing that created the life in the first place. Now consciously, most of us are not aware of this. But if you’re searching for happiness, if you’re searching for tranquility, if you’re searching just to have a nice, peaceful, loving, understanding life… in actual fact, you’re searching for your inner self.”
I will continue to point you away from all the thought-created nonsense we get so caught up in, and in this direction, until I draw my last breath!
It's the whole idea behind the Daily Reminders.
