It's not the easiest thing to do, but you really do have to slow down and take some time to really be "here."
You can spend a lifetime living in the past or the future. You can spend a lifetime trying to live in places that don't actually exist.
Truth is, you can't go back and change the past and you can't go to the future because there's absolutely no way to get there.
Doesn't mean people don't try. Doesn't mean people don't try to row towards this island "where it all turns out" and forget about the storm they are living in today.
The truth is, as ridiculous as it may sound, you only have this moment. You only have the moment you are in right now and that's the only place where you can survive.
When you let go of everything else and show up right now, you give yourself access to an incredible amount of power. You give yourself access to really "living" for the first time.
There's an incredible amount of power when you live in the present moment. You give yourself the opportunity to show up in live in the magic display of life. That type of living is always living in a grand mystery. It's living in a time and place that has no bounds and can knock your socks off every single day.
What happens if you don't make the choice? Tragedy.
But you get to make this decision every single day. Don't think that just because you decided one day to avoid life that you can't come back and make a better decision the next day. It's your choice if you want to live the life that will lead you incredible amounts of unhappiness or happiness. That decision is on you.
That's 100% your choice completely.
So make the right choice.
So make the choice to start being "here." You couldn't believe how much things will change when you do.
