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.
Exactly! We won't get to the future without the here and now. The past means nothing without realization in the here and now. The moment of truth is RIGHT NOW!
ReplyDeleteIndeed! We only have the here and now, all that we shall ever be is determined in this moment.
DeleteI often advise people not to over-plan and overthink everything out. That is a survivor instinct, but full-on survival brings all forward momentum to a halt. A good example of this is someone who builds a bunker and never comes out of it. He's safe, but also useless.
ReplyDeleteExcellent example, if you spend all your time preparing for the future that never arrives you will be sorely disappointed. The fruits of our labors are determined in the here and now.
