The Here And Now

There is nothing more important than the here and now. To dwell on the past or anticipate the future is irrelevant. To be completely engaged in the here and now is truly living.

Time does not solve anything, the world we live in is shaped by our actions in the present. Inaction only ensures entropy of the established and perpetuation of bondage. Only through self realization can we liberate ourselves and become our true self.

Be completely in the here and now, our future self affects our present. When we discover our talents and put them fully into motion we will see our potential come forth.

What we do in the now affects all aspects of ourselves in the past, present, and future. Think of the present as a ship, the wake of the ship disappears into the past whereas the future is our destination based on where we steer the ship now. If we realize all we really have is this moment we can focus completely on creating the here and now.

House Of Cards

Many (most) spend their short lives working towards a physical goal. They build a house of cards as a means of status, security, or even greed.

The unfortunate part of all this is that a house of cards is destined to fall. The physics of this world demands entropy. We can spend our whole lives fighting it but it is a fight we can not win.

So why bother? The answer is simple, do not. On the surface it seems cynical or even nihilistic but I assure you what I mean is to the contrary.  Do not invest in what is destined to rust away, instead invest in what is eternal.

The church lady rhetoric is far from what I mean. We were meant for greater, we were meant to thrive as creators never to live as slaves. Religions speak of ascension to a higher plane, I assure you we don't get there by living for the lower. We are the masters of our own destiny, it's about time we start acting like it.
