I also learned from my various moms that two equal but separate forces govern all of our thought processes in any decision-making , regardless of personal or professional ones , Love or Fear !
Mindfulness is the realization and understanding that we are looked at from the inside out .

action for all of us as we navigate our current live ’ s challenges and living situations for the remainder of this year and beyond .
I also learned from my various moms that two equal but separate forces govern all of our thought processes in any decision-making , regardless of personal or professional ones , Love or Fear ! Both are equally essential to help us make an informed decision . Too much of either would always lead to an unbalanced result . With Mindfulness , we can find beauty within ourselves , others , and our world when we apply the right mindset to achieve a balanced approach to every situation . The question is how ? Here is what my Sanguine Savanah mom , Toni , taught me : We all live two lives , an outer life and an inner life . The outer life is our public life that everyone can see . It comprises social interactions , whereas our inner life includes our thoughts , attitudes , and motives .
From a designer ’ s perspective , we have a facade representing our outer life that hides our inner beauty ! Only we know what is going on inside our inner life . We often pretend or act one way but think something different inside . Our hearts and our actions do not quite line up . Whether these actions mask our insecurities or hide our sinister motives , we can only fool people sometimes , but not all the time .
In comparison , our inner self , the essence of our authentic , beautiful self , when allowed to express its radiance , will propel true friendships and relationships in our personal and professional lives by nurturing them with openness and honesty . Mindfulness is the realization and understanding that we are looked at from the inside out . If we find peace and comfort in whatever we say and do from our actions and behavior , then we have performed selflessly for ourselves and , most importantly , for the greater good of others . This is the enchanting beauty of Mindfulness and karma at its best !
Although mindful thinking should be how we live every day , utilizing the once-a-year autumn season as an annual check-up reminder for ourselves will further enhance our strive to be the best we can be in our journey to personal excellence , especially as it leads us into the upcoming holiday season .
Mindfulness is the realization and understanding that we are looked at from the inside out .
I am thankful to my 9 Moms for teaching me to always look at people , events , and situations through the Mindfulness lens . Over the years , it helped me realize that :
• Wisdom is about knowing Others , while Enlightenment is about knowing Ourselves .
• Love leads to Selflessness , and Fear leads to Anger .
• Any Contentious Situation should not be about Anger ; it should be about Peace .
• Respect does not result from the Show of Power but from the Display of Grace .
• Success is not about knowing your Competition ; it is about knowing Yourself .
• Delay is not Denial ; it is a Chance for Refinement .
As a final food for thought , The Enchanting Beauty of Mindfulness is about “ Turning Knowledge into Wisdom .”
May your October be filled with Peace , Grace , Mindfulness , Happiness , and Joy !

With gratitude and blessings always , Johnny
