Today's message is about living in the moment. This is one of the most important things that you can do for yourself and those who matter most to you.
We can not spend our lives crying over spilled milk, we have to clean it up and get a fresh glass to quench our thirst. Things that have already happened are now part history and can not be changed no matter how hard we try...It's best to face the circumstances and move on.
Even when we move on, we can never move beyond the place we are at the present moment. "We can not count the chickens that we have if the chickens are still eggs. Who's to say that they ever will hatch? Who's to say that the chickens aren't really roosters? Anything can happen between today and tomorrow, so we can never take our future for granted.
Life is full of good days and bad days, but we can never get yesterday back and tomorrow is not promised. Make amends with that person you have a grudge against, have that conversation that needs to be had, tell that person that you love them, and make the most of today.
Have a blessed day,
SG
Message for the day - Live Now!!!
"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives."
-- Annie Dillard
We lose the power of the moment because we're so rarely in it. We're reliving the past or speculating about the future. We continue to believe that tomorrow's the day when I'll be more capable, more wealthy, more fit and more loving. Meanwhile, I'm just putting in time, dreaming of better things but not making any concrete move to realize them.
When you find yourself thinking of the future or the past, bring your awareness into the present moment. Really experience how you feel and what's happening around you, without judgment. If we can treasure each moment, our lives will be rich, no matter what we have accomplished.
"Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered for they are gone forever."
-- Horace Mann
"If, before going to bed every night, you will tear a page from the calendar, and remark, 'there goes another day of my life, never to return,' you will become time conscious."
