Benefits of
Consciousness/Awareness
Consciousness guarantees you a
rich life no matter your circumstances. When you pay attention to what is
around you, you see the wealth in ordinary, mundane things. Life becomes one
big sightseeing adventure because everywhere you turn there is novelty.
A conscious life is a life free of
baggage. We are weighed down by the baggage we carry from our past. Our
experiences and our reaction to them accompany us wherever we go. The only way
to avoid the baggage of those experiences is to live in the here and now.
It also allows us to live free of
worry. When you are concerned about this moment and enjoying it, what room do
you have for the worries of tomorrow? What Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:25-33
has huge implications on how we live our lives. He says that no one can add a
single hour to his life by worrying. Learn to enjoy what is before you and
allow the future to remain in the future.
Consciousness breeds gratitude.
When we really take in what is before us, it follows naturally that our hearts
will be inclined towards gratitude. When we are rushing through life, gratitude
is impossible because we are looking constantly to the next moment.
It also breeds excellence. By
giving one hundred percent concentration to what we are doing, we produce
excellent results at it. Mediocre work is more often than not a result of a
divided mind. Whatever you do half-heartedly will yield average results.
Whatever you do wholeheartedly will guarantee excellent results. It’s that
simple.
It is a foundation for creativity.
Creativity is released as we take in every moment in its richness. The more you
turn something over in your mind, the more you have the ability to perceive it
in different lights.
