SOME PEOPLE SPEND THEIR ENTIRE LIVES TRYING TO LIVE IN ANOTHER TIME AND PLACE. THEY LAMENT ABOUT WHAT HAS BEEN, WHAT THEY COULD HAVE DONE, OR WHAT MIGHT BECOME. HOWEVER, THE PAST IS GONE, AND THE FUTURE DOESN’T EXIST. NO MATTER HOW MUCH TIME WE SPEND THINKING AND LAMENTING ABOUT EITHER, IT DOESN’T CHANGE ANYTHING. ONE OF LIFE’S SHARPEST PARADOXES IS OUR BRIGHTEST FUTURE HINGES ON OUR ABILITY TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU’RE DOING RIGHT NOW, TODAY. WE NEED TO LIVE MORE IN THE MOMENT. LIVING IN THE MOMENT REQUIRES ACTIVE, OPEN, INTENTIONAL AWARENESS ON THE PRESENT. DON’T FANTASIZE ABOUT BEING ON VACATION WHILE AT WORK, AND DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE WORK PILING UP ON YOUR DESK WHEN YOU’RE ON VACATION. LIVE FOR NOW.
