It's not the easiest thing to do at times, but you really have to slow down and connect with the moment and 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.
Doesn't mean people don't try. Doesn't mean people don't try to row towards this island "where it all turns out" and forget about the storm they are living in today.
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.
Great power comes from present. Great power comes from showing up as the hero of your life instead of avoiding the path you know you are meant to take. You finally get to be yourself. You finally get to live in the moment.
What happens if you decide to avoid life? Major tragedies.
Well, you make the decision to continuously live a life where it's all on fire and you are trying to juggle 20 things at once with the capacity to juggle 11, seeking and grasping at things that will never make you happy...and make it to the middle of your life... old...broken down, full of resentment and miserable because you've been chasing shadows your whole life.
That's your choice.
Not gonna do that.
It's time to decide that you're going to live in the present moment and head straight into the challenge that it brings you. Time to truly live.
