Living in the present
Living in the present
Let me start this article by quoting lines by the spiritual teacher Osho
"Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny--he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally--you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you.
Yes my friends, this is very true!
Every object in this universe whether living or non-living has a definite purpose, a specific task assigned to him to perform. It is the deliverance of this duty given to us that defines our existence and provides meaning to our being. No person here is present without a cause.... We are all helping fulfill a greater mission!
So how can we give it our best? By being honest to ourselves and LIVING IN THE PRESENT!
It is only when you live in the present can you be fully aware of your surroundings and your purpose. Every instance... every minute second gone by in our life is IRREPLACEABLE and we must understand this to be able to concentrate on the present.
We lose precious time in our lives doing either of the two things: Brooding about the past or being anxious about the future! And hardly in the process do we realize how many precious moments of the PRESENT we lose!
The Past! Seriously, Can you help it anymore? NO!
If there was something really bad in your past, you need to develop the art of moving on! You should not forget... Take the lessons from it! But do not dwell upon it forever! Do not clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it makes it makes your hands full and unable to embrace the present!
The Future! Who knows the future? Who can predict the future? Nobody! Then why even bother?
The future is tomorrow. It does not exist. And we while away so much of our time thinking and acting out in our heads situations that are not even real. It is good to be cautious and plan for the future but that is where it needs to stop.
"Wait for tomorrow, to think tomorrow's thoughts"
So what are we left with?
The PRESENT! Yes! Now this is something that we have! That Does Exist!
Harness the power of today! Seize the day! Take its blessing! Make something happen! Do something with your life! Be proactive! Go out and work, play, party! Anything that gives you happiness. But live in the Present!
Keep you mind and thoughts reserved only for what you are doing in the moment!
If you are eating just eat, do not think
If you are playing, just play, do not think!!
The past and future are mere illusions! The present is what there is, and all there is!
What do you get if u invert NOW?
WON!!!
If you stay in the now, you surely shall be a winner! For life is available my friends, only in the Present moment!
