It's not the easiest thing to do, but you really do have to slow down and take some time to really be "here."
you can spend your entire life living in the past or living in the future. Sometimes, you don't even know that you're stuck there.
The blunt truth is, you can't go to the past and fix anything and you can't go to the future and skip out on the present moment.
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.
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 everything else and show up right now, you give yourself access to an incredible amount of power. You give yourself access to really "living" for the first time.
That power comes from presence...you've actually showed up as the hero in your life instead of trying to avoid being someone else or "being someone in the future." You get to be yourself for once. You get to live in honest moments.
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.
Not gonna do that.
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.
