Are You Ready?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Give Your Gentle and Focused Attention<\/span><\/p>\n

When you want to give something of real value to another, give your gentle and focused attention.<\/span>
\n When you seek to develop true understanding, listen with your heart.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can build lasting relationships and intimacy and create great value by paying attention and being here.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>When lecturing, pleading and arguing fail to carry your point across, giving your attention very likely will.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, it can be difficult to give your full attention in a fast-moving world that is filled with distractions. <\/span>
\n And yet, the more distractions there are, the more precious and valuable your attention becomes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Give something to others that is one hundred percent you and go total.<\/span>
\n Give the gift of your gentle and focused attention and do your best.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are people all around you who are yearning to be heard, seen, acknowledged,\u00a0recognized and loved.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>By truly paying attention, you enrich your life as well as theirs.<\/span><\/p>\n

By being present and living in the moment,<\/span>
\n Active listening and true communication can be achieved and magic happens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even if you have nothing else to give, you can always give your focused attention. <\/span>
\n It will be surely welcomed and treasured as it brings real light to the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

And just maybe, you will feel God’s presence and grace.<\/span>
\n Miracles are possible, spread the word.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just take life one step at a time and do what is in front of you.<\/span>
\n By taking care of the present moment and being here, your future will be wonderful.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be the best you can be right now.<\/span>
\n Give what you can give right now.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Life is a song … sing it.<\/span>
\n Life is a game … play it.<\/span>
\n Life is a challenge … meet it.<\/span>
\n Life is a dream … realize it.<\/span>
\n Life is a sacrifice … offer it.<\/span>
\n Life is love … enjoy it.<\/span><\/h3>\n

~ Sai Baba ~<\/span><\/p>\n


\nThere is so much to be thankful for.<\/span>
\nTake a good look and acknowledge all of your blessings.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
