Live Now

Do you know of people that live in the past? They recall their halcyon days of youth through rose tinted spectacles, of how great it was and how it's all changed now. I've had this experience recently wit someone who is only 55! They have nothing to look forward to; I can only assume it's because they think their life has run it's course. How very sad is that.


Then also, you may know of people who always live their life in the future; they will explain that life will be great for them when this happens or when that happens. They miss everything occuring around them because they are too busy looking for that light at the end of the dark tunnel they have created. Again, this is also very sad because life moves on without them.


In both cases, they become introvert and, too often, lonely.


I am a great advocate of setting short, medium and long term goals. I fervently believe that without them, your life stagnates. I also firmly believe that, when you have created these visions, you then must put a plan in place of how you can achieve them; however, remember this is only a plan and they do change. So, you are only mapping out one way of getting there.


However, once the goals have been written down and plans laid, all on paper I must add, then ask for them to be created. This could be in the form of a prayer or a wish but believe they will appear.


Once this is done, then go and LIVE in the present. The present is the only part of your life you can influence. The past is gone; the future will be taken care of by the infinite being. You may call this God, the Universe, your Guardian Angel, Fate etc. However, it doesn't matter as long as you sincerely believe it will come to pass, the opportunity for it to do so will be presented to you.


All you need to do? Live the best you can in the PRESENT. Do the best you can in the PRESENT. Be the best person you can in the PRESENT. You must spend some time each day, visualising the joy you will feel but this should not stop you living in the present.


Give the best you can to everyone and every deed and your planned future will appear. 


Live now.


Have a fantastic day,


Mark.
