It's not the easiest thing to do, but you really do have to slow down and take some time to really be "here."
Trust me, you can spend your whole life avoiding being there (the past) or trying to get there (the future).
Truth is, you can't go back and change the past and you can't go to the future because there's absolutely no way 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.
It may sound a bit ridiculous, but you really only have this moment. You are this moment. This is the only moment you will ever be able to live in.
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 when you start avoiding life? Tragedy.
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.
That's your choice.
So make the proper choice.
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.
