Trying to be reflective, mindful and grateful

Life is full of meaning and opportunities for growth.  When we are mindful of the beauty and accomplishments of the past, even when the present or future is not exactly what we would like it to be, we will not be disturbed.  We will still be excited about the past and appreciative for the present.  In this way, the future will be even more auspicious because we create our futures by how we have dealt with the past and how we are dealing with the present.  Being always reflective, mindful, and grateful allows us to never forget how much the Supreme Lord is sending His love in different ways. -H.H. Bhakti Tirtha Swami
