Try Singing in the Rain
February 27, 2008 Life choices, Living in the Now, Purpose-driven life, Singing in the Rain, Stay in the Now No CommentsI just finished reading Tolle’s book, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose, and have been looking for ways to stay in the Present. Rather than dwell on the past or look to the future, Tolle reveals that it’s only by staying in the Now, in the Present, that we can experience joy, consciousness and our life purpose.
When I watched Usher’s remake of Gene Kelly’s classic “Singing the Rain,” I didn’t know at first why it resonated so with me. Now I do.
It gave me great joy to see a young performer exhibit the tremendous talent to capture the essence of the original performance but in his own soulful way.
It also gave me tremendous pride to see Usher’s talent span so many genres.
But most of all, I realized that singing in the rain keeps you in the present. Try it next time it rains. In the meantime, take a walk in the sunshine.
