Participate in This Moment

Philosophy: Participate in this present moment. Engage in all of its details. Acknowledge the people, challenges and tasks directly in front of you. Accept and surrender to this moment. Do not avoid the moment you are in right now. No longer withdraw as an indifferent or unconcerned bystander. Apply yourself fully and wholeheartedly. Remain patient and do your best. This is your life!

Insight: "As a stepfather, there were, and still are, countless times that I withdrew or avoided tough parenting situations. When to discipline, teach, or generally just reach out and get involved. Personally, I felt like an outsider at times, or simply just left most of the parenting to their mother. Over time, literally a compilation of single moments, I made the conscious choice to exert myself and fully inhabit my potential role in each of these moments. Not thinking about the future or the past, I remained present. And one instance at at time, I gained a little more love, a little more trust and acceptance as an authority and, even better, a parent."
