The Power of Now
We humans, love to drift into the future or dive deep into the past. One brings us relief, and the other some strange kind of satisfaction. But which is the best place to be in - the past, the present or the future?
Past
What can we actually take from the past? The best thing is certainly our experience - our victories, successes and most of all the lessons that we learned. But how often do we go back for analysis and improvement? Let's be honest with ourselves - very rarely.
Instead, we prefer to focus on our failures or missed opportunities. We think about them and relive the moments again and again, as if they are happening right here and now. Fortunately, this is not the case, but focusing on the past prevents us from fully experiencing the present and creating something better.
Future
What can we take from the future? The most helpful may be the vision, the direction and the inspiration for the fulfillment of our innermost desires. With their help, we can shape our dreams into goals that will gradually become reality.
However, getting stuck in the future is not healthy either. And if we look at it realistically, we will realize that the future does not exist. Because whatever we desire, we will always experience it only in the present.
Present
If the present is all we have, what is the best thing to do with it? The answer is very simple - to use our energy wisely.
Because the only moment that we have a control over our thoughts is now!
The only moment that we have a full control over our actions is now!
The only moment that we have a full control over our energy is now!
And it will always be like this, because the only moment that we will ever live in is now!
If we can't go back to the past and we can't go to the future, perhaps the best strategy is to make the most of the present - here and now! Because that is the only thing we will ever have!
