The power of the present

While we tend to segment time into the past, present, and future, until our experience with the concept of time changes, there is only the present moment. What is the past is based on our memories. What is the future is based on supposition. Think of the times when you ruminated over the past somehow seeking a clue as to how it could have been different or the impact it has over your life today. How does that activity change your life today other than it contributing to perhaps feeling like a victim? Engaging is such activities can be of benefit when you see how your past can be used to make positive changes in how you approach life today. Focusing on the future allows for the creation of dreams and intentions understanding that they are subject to change based on circumstances. It is in the power of the present that you truly can live life to the fullest. It involves being aware of what is happening around you and how you are responding to it. It requires you to tune in to your thoughts and feelings and deciding what they are telling you. Are they contributing to, or limiting, your growth? What can you do to redirect those thoughts and feelings to live a life in which you are happy, joyous, and free? What does this present moment tell you about the course you are on?
