Living In The Now

"There's never enough time!"

How often have you heard someone say that...or said it yourself? Think about it. Does anybody have any more time than anyone else?

Can there be more or less time? Certainly not. The whole point is that it's not a matter of having enough time -- rather, it's how we use the time that we have.

Someone once joked that the whole point of time is to keep everything from happening at once. The only time is now. And life, then, is an unbroken series of nows.

If you really want to get the most out of the here and now, don't waste it by reliving other times, good or bad.

Do what needs to be done every day. Putting tasks off or frittering away time by worrying or feeling guilty only results in a bigger stack of things not getting done. Then, when the stack gets really humongous, we worry about how out of control our lives are!

Is it worth it? Naaah!

Take time to do what needs doing now. It will add years to your life and life to your years.
