"Don't let a mad world tell you that success is anything other than a successful present moment."
Eckhart Tolle
The world tells us a lot of things that will lead us to a path of self destruction. This is why we must strengthen our center. There are so many distractions to keep us focused on getting something or acquiring more. “If I get that job or if I make this money or if she/he changes” There are so many things that we tell ourselves that keep us from the success of this present moment. We constantly live in the past or the future never touching down in the present. We live as if life itself isn’t good enough, like this moment that you are living isn’t IT. That’s the humor of it. This is the only IT that you have right now and it will be followed by another IT. We place the significance on everything that happens around us and deem what is worthy versus what is to be tossed aside. We do it so quickly and maybe even recklessly. Stop the machine that is running you and take a deep breath.
Today, listen closely and pay attention to what’s happening in this present moment. Nothing else is as important as what’s happening right now. Give it the attention that you give your past and see what happens.
Today I am grateful that I feel like a participant in my own life. I feel like I’m making my own way and that feels empowering.
