It's not the easiest thing to do, but you really do have to slow down and take some time to really be "here."
you can spend your entire life living in the past or living in the future. Sometimes, you don't even know that you're stuck there.
Well you can't go back to the past and change it and if you start rowing towards this island of "where it all turns out" you're never going to get there.
It's a lie. It's one sexy mirage though.
The only time you have is now and the only place you can ever go...is right here. You are this moment. That might sound hippy dippy but it's actually the truth. It's as true as true gets.
When you let go of the past and the future and show up in this moment, you make contact with something so incredibly powerful. Truly, for someone who has only spent their live avoiding living in the moment, being in this space can be absolutely life changing.
That power comes from presence...you've actually showed up as the hero in your life instead of trying to avoid being someone else or "being someone in the future." You get to be yourself for once. You get to live in honest moments.
What happens if you decide to avoid life? Major tragedies.
But you get to make this decision every single day. Don't think that just because you decided one day to avoid life that you can't come back and make a better decision the next day. It's your choice if you want to live the life that will lead you incredible amounts of unhappiness or happiness. That decision is on you.
Doesn't sound that great to me.
So make the proper choice.
So make the choice to start being "here." You couldn't believe how much things will change when you do.
