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."
Trust me, you can spend your whole life avoiding being there (the past) or trying to get there (the future).
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.
That doesn't mean that people don't try to live in the future. That doesn't mean that people don't try to skip out of the storm that's their life right now and avoid everything they know they need to fix.
The truth is, as ridiculous as it may sound, you only have this moment. You only have the moment you are in right now and that's the only place where you can survive.
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 don't make the choice? Tragedy.
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 100% your choice completely.
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.
