Moments of the Now

I often ponder Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now.  In The Power of Now I find my formula for living life in the present moment.  So I would like to begin this section with one part of that book that always stuck in my mind. 

Now Exhale quickly. Imagine your driving to a meeting while running late and there is no way that you will get where you’re going in time.  You arrive at a RED LIGHT that seems to stretch into eternity.  Frustration kicks in; irritation, your body temperature begins to rise.  Finally, anger set in: it becomes the ugliest  RED LIGHT IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.

Why? 

Do you wish to be angry?  Do you choose frustration?  If you desired with all your heart at that moment to find Happiness could you?  The point is that we all have frustrating red lights in life; but we can control how we feel about them.  Now, when I see a Red Lights, I choose to take a deep breath, relax and ask myself if I choose to be Happy.  I always come to the same answer….
