Live in the present

All the wonders you see are in yourself

I am still a dreamer, but I am acting to make things happen. I have created a cause for myself to be devoted to, and that has allowed me to focus on getting things done instead of pining for a fantasy. It has also created a light at the end of the tunnel for my life….if this “cause” goes well, it could help accomplish other goals.

I highly recommend a CD called Happiness by this French buddhist monk. I am working on letting go and just embracing what comes to me in my work life, health, and relationships. I got this from my public library. He is a humourous plain speaking teacher. He talks about dealing with worry and anger and our conceptions of self. How so much that we pursue and rush to judgment about is based on assumptions that are really goofy and damaging to our spirits. You can find lots on him by googling too. His story of the pissing tree flies is priceless.

I’m constantly worrying. I worry about everything – relationships, school, what to eat, where I’m going to live when I graduate – and I think it’s time that stopped. If I can learn to live in the present, the future will be better, and if the future is better, there is no reason to worry in the first place.

I know I can do this. It’s going to be HARD, but I’m going to force myself to appreciate life as it is NOW.

Living in the present isn`t always easy but it sure feels alot better then worrying about the future or being haunted by the past. I have to remind myself the past is just that. It can`t be changed … I can`t go back and do it differently. As for the future preparing myself by setting a bit of money away every pay is the only way I can prepare. Other then that I can`t do anything about my tomorrows. I wake each morning and there is that ghost of yesterdays tugging at my thoughts. I bring out the ” ghost busters” thinking and think instead .. NO.. you don`t. This is TODAY and Im gonna live it!!! It`s an on going process and a new way of thinking but its working for today.

And maybe read the New Earth, while I’m at it.

Since I undertook to get out of debt (one of my other Things), I find I am impatient to get it done and want that part of the future to get here already. That goal will take me about four years and I think I am fretting and obsessing over it too much. Staying focussed is good to make sure I attain that goal but in the meantime I have four years of life to live. I have been finding it hard to just focus on the here and now, because I am thinking about a job shift too and then I worry too much. It is stupid because everything always works out in the end. I don’t know why I go to that anxiety place as I am generally a pretty positive person.

Im sick of living in the future, im forever planning this, organising that, dreaming that i mean ive gotten to a stage now, that im planning what i want to do next christmas!! its riduclous!! anyone got any ideas how i can live in the present, and not in the future.

This is God. Today I will be handling All of your problems for you. I do Not need your help. So, have a nice day.
I love you.

P.S. And, remember…
If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do Not attempt to resolve it yourself! Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. I will get to it in MY TIME. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours.

Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.

Should you decide to send this to a friend; Thank you. You may have touched their life in ways you will never know!

Now, you have a nice day.
God

God has seen you struggling, God says it’s over.
A blessing is coming your way.

I remember a story about Gandhi ( I think )He was asked by a reporter if you had 25 words to tell people how to live a happy life What would you say? Gandi said You only need 3 words, Live Life Now.

A simple message that is very difficult to do But I keep on trying.
