I’m sure you’ve heard this many times; that this moment is not just the present moment, but also a present to you. It means that this very minute is a gift in which you can do whatever it is you please. And by living in the present, in this very moment it not only shapes your future, it can provide you with a “no regrets” past.
As you read this are you really somewhere else? Are you thinking about something from your past or thinking about what you need or want to do next, or later today, or next week, or next month? Yes, most of us have a very difficult time staying in the moment. It’s amazing that we actually hear or listen to anything that’s being said.
Do you know that listening is an acquired skill? There really needs to be courses in listening. Right now, as you read this, you are contemplating so many other things and unless this subject really intrigues you, you may or may not even finish reading it. And even if you do will you have digested the information and use it to your benefit in the future?
Now, if you really what to get ethereal you will want to pay attention to everything that comes into your life because it came to you for a reason. Unfortunately, unless you listen you’ll never discover why this article came to you, or why I was the person, who wrote it, or what the meaning of this message is for you, or what you need to learn from it. Sound cryptic? Not really, you see even when you are writing there is a message there for you as well. Think about it, contemplate it, and find the message.
So tell me how do you handle the present? Are you present or not? And did this have any meaning for you?
