Living in the Past

We all do it. Why?

It tells us we are alive by what we have accomplished or experienced. It gives us a reason to live today by what we have done in the past. This is crazy. This limits us. Turns us away from new experiences.

Today, this moment is the only thing we truly have. Just now. Why would you want to base today on what has already happened? Why limit my experiences by past feelings, emotions, and all the other limited measurements that I continue to hold onto?

Let them all go. Live in today. Live in the moment and breath. You cannot breath in the past. So I don't want to live there. I will miss all the gifts that await me today. In this moment.

It takes practice. Think of all the time you spend talking about what took place earlier. Last night. Yesterday. Growing up. They're gone except in your memories. You live in one past event - you live your life in all past events.

Love yourself for who you are today. Not who you were. Let it in. Let it all in as you go through your day. The people you meet only recognize you for who you are today. Not what you have done. It's nice, but who really cares besides you? Answer - no one.

Make this moment your movie and project it to the world. It's a blockbuster. Academy award winner starring YOU!

Your Life - Your Movie!
