Living In The Now...
LIVING IN THE NOW!!!
It is a cheap generosity which promises the future in return compensation for the present. ---- J. A. Spender
Living in this moment is all we really have. We are constantly bombarded with advice to live for the future, but it perpetually exists beyond our grasp like the carrot tempting the donkey. We are told to be mindful of our career paths, to save for the future, and to sacrifice now for later rewards. We put off spending time with our children, but later they are no longer the same children. We postpone seeing friends now and discover later we have lost our relationships.
Of course, we can't be foolish about our future. We need to make some plans and delay some immediate pleasures. But for now, we can only have a rapport with ourselves and others and experience life in this now moment. The now is the only time when anything can happen, the only time any change can & will occur. This now moment is like a fresh, cool, passing breeze. It is here ...... then it is gone. The rest exists only in our imaginations or, ....... in our memories. Let us make the most of our " now's'. now !!
May I feel the exhilaration of being alive now, right in this very moment. And may I maintain an even balance in all of my perspectives as my today's unfolds.
