This Magic Moment.

An image that illustrates living in the moment and following one's bliss.

In our fast paced world how often do we take the time to live in the moment and enjoy what we have and where we are? In this blog post the author explains how he learned to appreciate the simple pleasures in life.

When I was in grade school I was often sent to the Principal’s office for misconduct. Not malicious mischief mind you, but highly imaginative pranks and practical jokes. One day a note was sent home to my mother with the observation; “Daniel suffers from an excess of imagination which often leads him into disruptive behavior.”

Another aspect of my personality is that I’ve always been a goal-oriented person. I used to joke that I was so goal oriented I even had goals to get more goals!

When you’re a goal-inclined person with lots of imagination, it’s easy to be constantly looking forward and envisioning new things and experiences you want to bring into your reality. For years I used dissatisfaction with my current reality to motivate me to work hard toward establishing a new one. I thought this alternate reality would be better and bring me more happiness. The strange thing is, once the newness of the new reality wore off (which it quickly did) I felt dissatisfied once more and had to begin the whole process again.

When I was a kid my family was always on a tight budget. We had the necessities but not the luxuries, which made travel and vacations a non-reality. As a result, I longed to see the greater wide world in all its magnificence. Not only the wonders of nature but to experience sophisticated big city life and what it was like to be wealthy. I imagined that it must be incredibly exciting and super glamorous!

Years later, when I was working for the television program USA Corporate Profiles, my wish was granted. The focus of the show required me to fly all over the USA to record interviews with CEOs of major corporations and produce a video program on an aspect of their company that was performing in some outstanding way. As a result, I was often picked up from the airport by limousine and then tucked comfortably into a luxury hotel with the finest amenities.

At first it was very exciting to be treated like a VIP- I marveled at how huge and well-appointed the hotel suites were and frequently dined on the finest cuisine in world famous restaurants. When work was done, I explored the night life of the great metropolitan centers with a relish!

After a time though, it all just became routine and I tired of the phony airs and snobbish attitudes the people in these circles put on. When it came time for me to take a vacation, I puzzled over how I wanted to spend it. Since my work life consisted of luxury hotels, limousines, fancy restaurants and snobs, this seemed fairly dull to me. I decided instead to experience freedom from all that.

The Author on a cross-country motorcycle trip circa 1993.

I packed up my motorcycle with a small tent and a few items of clothing. I pointed my front tire toward the open highway, twisted the throttle and sped out with no reservations and no itinerary. Each day I would ride under the blue arc of heaven and sleep at whatever campground or cheap motel was nearby as the sunset painted the evening sky. My meals consisted of cuisine from whatever Mom and Pop diner was closest to my resting place.

When you’re on a solo motorcycle trip, you have lots of time to think. I can’t speak for others, but there’s something about gliding down the highway surrounded by nature that puts me into a highly meditative state of mind. My focus is “in the moment” and as long as the weather is fine, I’m enjoying that moment immensely. (FYI, riding in bad weather can be a nightmare, and I don’t recommend it).

The point of these stories is simple; we should never put off being happy while we manifest our dreams. It’s a low vibration trap to be dissatisfied with, and ungrateful for, the life we currently find ourselves in. To experience a happy and satisfied life while we manifest more fulfillment, is where the true magic lies! Therefore, we must stop relentlessly looking toward some future attainment (where we think happiness will be found) and we must enjoy and appreciate the present moment we find ourselves in!

A wise person said;

“A happy life is a string of happy moments”

Through my work and personal acquaintances, I’ve known many millionaires and I can tell you, very few of them are happy. The majority are locked into a mindset where they’re constantly grasping toward some future exploit they think will end their gnawing dissatisfaction. They seldom just relax into the moment and appreciate what they have.

Frederich Koenig said;

“We tend to forget that happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have, but rather from recognizing and appreciating what we do have.”

Therefore, let’s challenge ourselves to balance our desires regarding future manifestation with gratitude for, and appreciation of, the moment we presently have. Instead of living by a “to-do” list or a “to-have” list, let’s begin each day with a “to-be” list where we prioritize being happy. Let’s ask ourselves what approach to our day will bring us the most enjoyment and fulfillment. Let’s look for and celebrate with gratitude whatever we have that brings us joy in this magic moment, right here, right now!

My latest book proposes alternative views on human history, extraterrestrial involvement, and societal manipulation. We explore ancient civilizations, discovering lost technologies and hidden truths about humanity’s past and future potential. My research suggests that remnants of advanced technologies exist worldwide and challenges the accepted historical narrative that minimizes our connection to these civilizations.

This book advocates for expanded consciousness and challenges societal norms imposed by a controlling elite. I also include over 250 full color images. I dare say, anyone who reads it with an open mind will have their beliefs about ancient and contemporary history challenged! This is not only a book about manipulated history, but also about how our beliefs shape our current reality.

Thank you in advance for supporting the cause of full disclosure! – Daniel

And finally, for Children of all ages, I wrote a book that teaches in a fun and humorous way the concepts of being curious, open-minded and a critical thinker.

Finnegan is a fish in the Great Wide Ocean who goes on a journey to see all he can of his watery world. He encounters many colorful characters along the way. Then he has an encounter that causes him to question the things he’s been taught in school. He and his Angelfish friend Gabby begin to explore the idea that there may be more to the world than the wet one they live in.

Many full color illustrations to captivate your youngster’s imagination. Takes approximately 10 minutes for an adult to read. Great for those bedtime stories!
