Thoughts while in a Forest

Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim is an amazing teacher.  Rather than telling me what to do, she simply will ask me to take a walk in the garden.

One time, Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim had me sit down in the forest, meditating.  She didn't give any other directions.  Just meditate.  Be one with the trees and ferns and flowers.

All of a sudden I realized:  when God created this world, and all beings in it, He only had to tell them once what to do.  "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth."

And ever since, that is what all the plants and animals have been doing.
They don't ever need a special reminder.  They don't need a to do list.  They simply do what they were born to do.

What about me?  Am I doing what I am supposed to do, without having to be reminded?
Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim encourages us to set goals, make a list, and make myself accountable.  That's how I can do it too!

HE CAN DO, SHE CAN DO, WHY NOT ME!

It's never too late!

Today, as every day, I have a lot of reasons to celebrate.

 Number one, I am alive and well!

 Number two, it is my Birthday, and I am 58 years young. I feel better than I did at half my age. Why? Because of my training with Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim.

 People used to tell me I couldn't do things because I was too young and now they are starting to tell me I am too old, or too this, or too that. In her first book, "Seven Steps to Inner Power," Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim really hits the spot. She says,

" There is always only now. "True awareness means being right where you are, right now, without fear or worry or obsession about the future or past. I have to plan, you may say. I have to think about what I am going to do ten minutes from now, or tomorrow, or it won't happen. Yes, you should make plans in the present moment. You don't ever stop thinking, but be watchful to keep yourself open to new incoming ideas that may change what you plans. The point is to e aware every moment of what you are thinking, because whatever is going on now is on the way to manifesting. How important it is, then to keep everything you dOn't want out of your moment to moment consciousness. How can you do that if you are not focused on here, now? WHEN YOU CAN SEIZE CONTROL OF THE NOW MOMENT, YOU TAKE INTELLIGENT CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE." (Seven Steps to Inner Power, page 54) And that is one of Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim's greatest gifts to me, this paragraph that there is always only now.

 HE CAN DO, SHE CAN DO, WHY NOT ME!
