The message of the day!

Today we had a choice, like every other day of our lives, yet sometimes we are unaware that the choice truely is ours to be made.  Being stoked is like being where you are at with gratitude, and being okay that what you have in that moment is enough. MAY IT BE ENOUGH! May we notice what we have in each moment, not what we don't have.  

Starting a new business, creative project or following your dreams can bring up a lot of unwanted experiences.  Fear comes up, what if I fail?; worry, am I going to be successful?; anger, this is not what I expected!; frustration, is all this effort worth it?.  We are human and these thoughts, states of mind are bound to arise from the depths of our minds.  As we are learning here at Yum Qi Life, we have a choice to be stoked with where ever we are on the path.  We are learning and practicing to be present to what we experience in each moment of our daily lives.  This awareness actually helps us act in wisdom when we feel overwhelmed, insecure or upset when life doesn't pan out the way we expected.  Life will turn out better when we allow the worry to pass and remind ourselves to come back to being stoked and grateful for life as it is. 

"Be Stoked" was what Billie suggested to me while I was expressing thoughts of worry with my other business (Beautiful Jean,  just a little plug!) this afternoon, and then no joke five minutes later we see the Dali Lama's huge face and "BE STOKED NOW" on the back of a semi trunk pass by.  We laughed and I had to watch those thoughts of worry just glide on bye bye. 

Yum Qi is stoked to be happy where we are at.  At the beginning of this new chapter, new journey and business of our lives we are choosing to be okay with where we are at.  Wow now we are having fun and playing the best we can with the what we are offered.  We can now walk the path of creation with presense and peace of mind.  We will allow Yum Qi to grow, develop and change into a constant blessing. Happy with the now.  We are offering Yum Qi as our offering of higher consciousness, based on creating a new culture of love, nonviolence, compassion, mindfulness and abundance.  

Thank you Dali Lama guess we needed a huge fat wake up call, a clear sign, bold, silly and in our face kind of wisdom. 

WE ARE STOKED!~

YUM QI LIFE!
