The Power of Now
What is the Power of Now?
‘Now’ is all any of us have; it is all we will ever have. There is a saying, “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift; that is why it is called the present!” Reality lies only within your words and actions ‘now’.
How Can I Live in the Power of 'Now'?
Everything begins with a thought so it is important to control your thoughts and so control your life because only today is reality. When you are grounded in the present moment you can tap into your own personal power; this is the way to control your future. Sit down and spend time imagining what you want your future to be and specifically create it in the now. Cherish each day, live life to the full and don’t waste time. It can never be retrieved.
What are the Benefits of Living in the Now?
When you make a decision to do a task take action and do it now. Time lost can never be redeemed. By reading good books now, they will help you in your future. By associating with stimulating people now, they will help convert your dreams into goals and plans. Make time now to do the work that will harness your future for success. By making the most of today you will have a better tomorrow!
SUMMARY
The past has slipped into memory and the future has not yet arrived, so if you want to achieve success and live the life you want to live, it is important to live in the present – the now. Today is the only day you can be creative and either stay with your previous choices or change those choices in light of the past. Only today is your reality so by living and making the most of today and planning for tomorrow, you will make your future better.
If you want to achieve success and live the life you want to live, then living in the present – the NOW – is very important to you. Why? The past is behind you and the future does not yet exist.
Today is the only day you can be creative so you need to be at your best to create whatever future you want. Your creative mechanism cannot function or work tomorrow, it can only function in the present – now. Creative living can only be successful if you have your full attention in today. Be very clear about what you want to do with your life. See with crystal clear clarity what you want to achieve and believe you will achieve it with all your heart. It starts at the ideas phase; you nurture it, develop it, feel as if it is happening ‘now’ and live and breathe it until it becomes your reality.
The past is a map of the direction you have taken so far in your life; a guide to making better choices for the future through the hindsight of your experiences. Those experiences teach you how to make the present and future a better and more fulfilling place through recognition of past mistakes. Memories are a snapshot of your past that colour your perception of reality today. The past cannot be changed so it is futile to waste energy on regrets. Instead keep it in context with your life now and if you want your life to be empowered, let go of the past and allow it to be just a fading memory.
Empowered people are those people with a sense of assurance, enthusiasm and wellbeing who know that they make their future by what they do today. They refuse to create worries and fears for the future; they have a zest for life. Most importantly, they are not selfish, but know it is meaningful to touch the lives of others each day with a smile and a helping hand and they have an ‘attitude of gratitude’ for just being alive. Empowered people recognise that the past and the future are memories and thoughts and today is their reality. By living today well they do the most within their power to make tomorrow better.
Of course you should be concerned about the future. You should dream and use your imagination to come up with a vision for your future and spend time setting goals and making plans. The future is very important because that future will become your NOW; however, you can’t live in it until you arrive there. Living today and planning for tomorrow is what all successful men and women do day to day. They blend in today’s actions with the results they expect tomorrow. So, when you make a decision to do a task – take action and do it now; don’t abuse time, for time lost now can never be redeemed.
We tend to live our lives subconsciously believing that we will live forever; there is generally always an expectation that we will have a tomorrow. Instead, appreciate and live each day and you will have an enhanced, healthy and enriched life.
You have the ability to achieve everything you want if you will just begin the process now.
