It's not the easiest thing to do, but you really do have to slow down and take some time to really be "here."
You can spend a lifetime living in the past or the future. You can spend a lifetime trying to live in places that don't actually exist.
The blunt truth is, you can't go to the past and fix anything and you can't go to the future and skip out on the present moment.
That doesn't mean that people don't try to live in the future. That doesn't mean that people don't try to skip out of the storm that's their life right now and avoid everything they know they need to fix.
The truth is, as ridiculous as it may sound, you only have this moment. You only have the moment you are in right now and that's the only place where you can survive.
When you let go of the past and the future and show up in this moment, you make contact with something so incredibly powerful. Truly, for someone who has only spent their live avoiding living in the moment, being in this space can be absolutely life changing.
That power comes from presence...you've actually showed up as the hero in your life instead of trying to avoid being someone else or "being someone in the future." You get to be yourself for once. You get to live in honest moments.
What happens when you start avoiding life? Tragedy.
It's your decision to live a life where you constantly avoid everything and run from your problems. It's your decision to live a life that will lead to you becoming an old, broken down, resentful, and miserable human being. Or you can make the decision to really start living.
That's 100% your choice completely.
So make the proper choice.
It's time to decide that you're going to live in the present moment and head straight into the challenge that it brings you. Time to truly live.
