Where do you spend the majority of your time and energy? I, personally, have been guilty of spending too much time lamenting the past, and too much time worrying about the future.
But here’s the deal – the past is just memory, and the future doesn’t exist, except in anticipation.
To honor the gift of life, I must live in the present moment – I must live in the Here and Now.
Enjoy good memories of the past, but let painful ones go (taking with you only the lessons you learned from them). Dream and plan for the future, but let go of fear and worry – it doesn’t even exist yet! Then, go ahead and live the vast majority of your life consciously in the here and now. By doing so, you honor and/or overcome your past. By doing so, you free your spirit and mind and body to become the best YOU possible, and to create the best future possible. Make it SO!
Best wishes to you on your spirit, mind, and body journey! Dr. Jim
