   In proper meditation, we learn to watch our thoughts. We can then consciously live in this moment the way we desire. We simply choose to accept or reject any thoughts or emotions that surface. They are either part of what we want to be as a human being or not. They either support our view or not. They are either constructive or destructive. They are either for the greater good on not. As we make these determinations our reality shifts. This moment becomes the best it can be. We begin to evolve. Moment by moment we grow. Moment by moment we live.
