To a large degree, the measure of our peace of mind is determined
by how much we are able to live in the present moment.
Irrespective of what happened yesterday or last year,
or what may or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you arealways!
Without question,many of us have mastered the neurotic art
of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of thingsall at once.
We allow past problems and future concerns to dominate our present moments,
so much so that we end up anxious, frustrated,depressed, and hopeless.
On the flip side, we also postpone our gratification, our stated priorities,
and our happiness,often convincing ourselves thatsomeday will be better than today.
Unfortunately, the same mental dynamics that tell us to look toward the future
will only repeat themselves so that someday never actually arrives.
John Lennon once said,Life is whats happening while were busy making,
our children are busy growing up, the people we love are moving away busy dying,
our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away.
In short, we miss out on life.
Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal for some later date.
It isnt.
In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow.
Now is the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control over.
When our attention is in the present moment, we push fear from our minds.
Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the future
we wont have enough money, our children will get into trouble,
we will get old and die, whatever.
To combat fear, the best strategy is to learn to bring your attention back to the present.
Mark Twain said,Ive lived through many terrible things in my life,
some of which actually happened.
I dont think I can say it any better.
Practice keeping your attention on the here and now.
Your efforts will pay great dividends.
