Now is Powerful

Now is Powerful

4fb47b64.jpg

The eternal present is the space within which your whole life unfolds. Life is NOW. There was never a time when your life wasn’t RIGHT NOW, and only YOU can chose to have the focus of your consciousness in the present rather than in the past or the future.

Give up, waiting is a state of mind. When you catch yourself slipping into waiting, you must snap out of it! Come into the present moment and just BE and enjoy just being. So the next time someone says: “Sorry to have kept you waiting,” you can simply reply, “Well that’s okay, I was just standing here enjoying myself – In joy in myself.”

People sacrifice the present for the future. But life is available only in the present. That is why we should walk in such a way that every step can bring us to the here and the now. Remember, always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.

Negativity is NEVER the optimum way of dealing with any situation. In fact, it keeps you stuck in it, blocking REAL change. Anything that is done with negative energy will become contaminated by it and in time will give rise to more pain and unhappiness. I know this from experience. I was trapped in Depression, because I was stuck in the past instead of focusing on the NOW. When I gave forgave who I needed to, my mind was free. 

Is fear preventing you from taking action? Acknowledge the fear, watch it, take your attention into it, be fully present with it. Doing so cuts the link between the fear and your thinking. Do NOT let the fear rise up into your mind. Use THE POWER OF NOW, fear cannot prevail against it. Again, Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.

When your deeper sense of self is derived from simply “Being,” when you are free from “Becoming” as a psychological need, neither your happiness nor sense of self depends on an “outcome” and then you are free from fear and NOTHING can possibly keep you from living the abundant life that you deserve.
