There are no accidents

There are no accidents. When you forget something and need to drive back home to get it, don’t just grab it and go, stop and count to ten, there is a good reason why it happened and you’ll never know it if you simply waste your time in self-deprecating statements.

We run too fast from point A to point B etc, and at times the only way that spirit can communicate with us is by slowing us down one way or another. If you don’t stop regularly during your daily routine, if nothing else to simply be grateful of what you have, you might end up getting sick, so that you have to slow down and then take stock. Your practice is there not for God’s benefit, but yours.

How often do you look down while you walk, your mind lost in thoughts of the future or past occurrences or desires? Repeating to yourself over and over again the same thing, reliving the same action, recalling the same feelings?

When you keep your eyes on the horizon and you really look at what you see, you are forced to do two things: stay in the present moment and rejoice at the simple beauty of a puffy cloud, majestic mountains, or even the entirety of your village. So no longer will you focus on yourself as a separate entity you'll become one with your surroundings. Losing yourself and becoming part of your Universe. What is yours only would not matter as much as what belongs to all. You will feel you are part of this wholeness.
