It's not the easiest thing to do at times, but you really have to slow down and connect with the moment and 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.
It may sound a bit ridiculous, but you really only have this moment. You are this moment. This is the only moment you will ever be able to live in.
When you actually let go of the past and the future and show up right now, you give yourself access to something incredible. You give yourself the opportunity to "live" for the first time in a time and place that has access to all sorts of mysteries.
Great power comes from present. Great power comes from showing up as the hero of your life instead of avoiding the path you know you are meant to take. You finally get to be yourself. You finally get to live in the moment.
What happens when you start avoiding life? 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 your choice.
So make the right choice.
Decide to live in the present, to head straight into life, and to take the challenges that come your way.
