Today is worryless, stressfree and
miraculous if you realize that Tomorrows come again and again. Today, however,
comes only once and is happening to you just NOW! Knowing this, internalizing it
and practicing it can make your Life beautiful.
Basically, focus on the present and all will be well with you. Think
about it. We never worry about or fear the present moment. We don’t pine for
the present. Our worries are ALWAYS about an unknown future and our pain comes
from a past that is over and done with. When we don’t live in the now, the only
real moment that we know of, have in our control and are going through now, we
are not living at all. We are merely existing. All our problems__financial,
emotional, spiritual__arise ONLY from not focusing on the present, on the now.
Living in the past, or longing for
an unknown future, is making us stagnate, vegetate and, in fact, rot. Don’t hit
that rewind button. Live every moment fully, mindfully. You have to live first
to understand, appreciate and enjoy Life. You can’t achieve that by merely
being alive. Our outer realities, our circumstances may not always be of our
choice. But how we want to live in them, in the present moment, can be by
choice. Choosing, therefore, to live in the now, is an intelligent decision.
While researching on the net for a
presentation I am due to make, I stumbled upon the Core Purpose, Mission and
Brand tagline for Amercian food major Kraft Foods. It said: “Make Today
Delicious”. It is perhaps the most delectable corporate statement
you may ever find. It almost instantaneously suggests we revisit how we are
leading our lives. It inspires you to want to get to that level of ease where
each of your todays can indeed be delicious.
Very simply, it’s your todays alone that count. Not your yesterdays or a tomorrow that is still to arrive. As Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) Author, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, says, “The past, the present and the future are really one: they are today.”
Think about it. And make your today memorable. Better still why not make today delicious!?
