Living in the Moment
How often do you find your self pre-occupied with events that happened yesterday, last week or last year?
And, how often do you catch your self thinking about things that haven't even happened yet?
If left unchecked, dwelling on past or future events can rob us of NOW time.
And NOW is really all that matters.
Of course, there's nothing wrong about thinking about happy times from the past.
Nor is there anything wrong about imagining and visualizing the happy times ahead.
The danger is that we become pre-occupied with past or future times and, in so doing, we end up sacrificing living fully in the moment.
If life isn't going so well right now, it may seem easier thinking back to a happier time or dreaming of what could be, but it doesn't change anything now unless you focus on changing the situation. To do that, you need to be in the moment.
Dwelling on the past or future can also be the result of insecurity about where you are right now.
When you think over and over about something that didn't go right in the past or frantically worry about what tomorrow may bring, you sacrifice your chance of happiness now.
Remember, all that ever matters is NOW.
Really being in the moment is not about forgetting the past or future.
The past shapes us and the future allows us to play out our dreams.
But, be aware, that time isn't real.
It's an illusion.
NOW is all we ever have!
What you do NOW ... moment, by moment, is what counts.
