From what was to what is

I'f you are a reader like me or you seek delight in listening/watching videos for inspirational purposes then you may have heard that to live too much in the past brings depression, to live too much in the future brings anxiety while to live in the present brings peace. Thats why it is called the present, it forms itself as the gift of right now.

No matter how much we are made aware of this, no matter how much we understand the simplicity of it, how long is it until we really live along side it? By which I mean we stop our own suffering, sometimes bearable, sometimes less so, suffering of what was. We give ourselves the grace to move on from whats happened and simply accept that it has, it was, and now… it isn’t.

In the same manner, how long is it until we stop letting what has never happened control our everyday, our many thoughts along with our ability to just be. To be without the feelings of what haven’t I done yet and what should I have done by now.

See living in the future breeds a pressure that doesn’t exist in the right now. Right now leaves no room for what ifs, only what is.

When we are following our joy, our curiosities of daily life we can be left with amounts of fulfilment that could never be found in a day spent worrying about one year from now or a year which has gone.

We are deserving of the right now, along with the ability to enjoy it. That in its entirety is what we are living for. Right now.

So live it through passion, through purpose, through joy, through the little things that are really quite big. Through the now.

What was, was. What may be, may never be. And what is, is.

Sending love.
