I wrote yesterday about my goals for 2020 which is kind of future thinking but I also believe that being in the present is vital. I was able to make my goals by asking myself what was important and what would bring me happiness in the present as I work towards those goals. Yes, when I do accomplish those goals it will be great and make me happy too but the journey of each today is important and should bring joy as well because now is what we have. Now is where we are and who we are now is essential to our happiness both now and in the future.
We can’t change the past so dwelling on it is a waste of time unless you are seeking out what lessons you can learn so you can apply them to now and move on. I have to admit that for many years in my early twenties I was stuck in the past and let it define who I was. Because I was doing that I wasn’t letting the good things of the moment have any real impact. I was so busy lamenting on ‘what if I had done this differently’ or ‘it isn’t fair that this terrible thing happened to me’ that I was missing out on the life I had in that moment.
I am happy to say that by finally taking charge and seeking out resources that would help me move on my life changed and shortly thereafter I met my husband which also changed my life dramatically for the better. If I had still been stuck in the past meeting him would have been another moment I let pass me by.
So, what is important this very second? I have learned from the past, I am making a happier future, and now is fantastic!
Until next time… breathe and feel this moment with every fiber of your being. Absorb the positive, let it permeate through you and allow the negative to pass on by.
