Whatcha Doing Right Now?!
in
This moment is gone.
Yes it is, but now we have a new one ... there it was ... here it is again ...there it goes again ... and here it comes again.
And so goes the "NOW" ... that ever so temporary flicker of time that we SOÂ take for granted; in fact we usually disregard it completely.
We'd much rather spend our time, our thoughts, our focus and energy someplace in the past ... our memories ... or somewhere in the imagined future.Â
Why do we do this? Why will we do anything but be present ... be in the NOW ... concentrate on what's happening right this moment, at the expense of wasting our energy and focus on memories and imagination?Â
NOW is how to live your life ... and if you think about it, it's the only real life you have! To improve upon the past, or do your best in the future, you've got to make the best of this very moment, no matter what you're doing, for your life is made up of zillions of "these very moments". The very best way to ensure that tomorrow is a good one is to make today the best you possibly can! Do you want to feel good about the past? Feel good about right now! Someone said that it's never too late to have a happy childhood ... and of course, we can create that right now in our own minds.
I feel that our first obligation to ourselves is to honor where, who, what, and why we ARE in the present. Nothing ever WILL be until it IS, and that can only happen starting right ... now.
Be here ... every moment. There are none more important than any other. How about beginning this attitude, oh, I don't know ... now?
Be you.
