There is only today

The time that we spend on this planet is precious. Unlike gold or money, it cannot be stored for future use. It is for this very reason that it cannot be squandered. This moment is all that you will ever have to enjoy the life you have been given. How are you choosing to spend it? Are you focusing on the good that is in your life or on pain and lack? If you believe that what you focus on is what you attract, which approach serves you better in the moment? There are times when I wish that an adverse situation was not present, and yet these times have been my greatest teachers. I remind myself of the old adage that "this too shall pass." One constant in life is its continual changing. One of the rewards of journaling is that I can go back to a page I wrote years ago and see how what seemed hopeless at the time managed to resolve itself. It is only when I carry those fears and beliefs into today that they have a negative effect on me. Release the negative power you give to past events and know that all that matters is how you are choosing to live in this moment. Savor it as the gift it is meant to be. How are you savoring this moment in time?
