the stories of your past and future
I’ve been thinking about the present lately—trying to give my Self the opportunity to spend more time in the present moment.
I once heard that the present moment is the only real moment, and that the past and future are merely stories.
The past is a story about what we think happened through our perspective.
The future is a story about what we want to see happen.
Neither is true.
Yet, so many people allow the stories of the past and the future to rob them of experiencing the present moment.
I haven’t mastered being in the present all of the time, but drawing my awareness to the present more throughout the day has helped me come back from the future (I don’t spend much time in the past) to that moment. I’m currently reading Dr. David Hawkins’ Letting Go, which I can already see will provide great information to help me live more in the present–letting go of the stories of the past and the attachment to the stories of the future.
Just something I’ve been thinking through lately…
See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,
JC
