Leave Your Agenda Behind

"About my agenda. Nope, can’t leave it behind this week. Nor next. However, for a while this afternoon I did manage to forget about my agenda. I sat on my porch in the sun reading, when this spring’s first bee landed on my coat-sleeve. What a lovely surprise visit!"

 “Be fully present

  Feel your heart.

  And engage the next moment without an agenda.”

                                                                 Pema Chödrön: Living Beautifully

We want so much. We want things to happen or develop according to our ideas and wishes. We want people to behave the way it suits us. When something else happens, we’re disappointed.

The problem is we’re too attached to our own agenda. We should learn to drop it, and let things evolve in their own way. Try to relax in the not knowing, and be ready for the surprises life has in store for you.

This week, before going to a meeting, calling somebody over the phone, or just leaving your house: try to let go of your own ideas and wishes. Be fully present and completely open to what happens. Feel your heart. And the “engage in the next moment without an agenda”.

Have a good week!
