Time Ticks On

Living in the moment is all about living like there’s no tomorrow. It takes practice but in the end, you’ll lead a fuller life. To do this you must realize beauty in every moment, and in everyday activities. This is your life, now live!

There comes a time in your life when you realize that if you stand still, you will remain at this point forever.

Regret and rue and remorse are all from the past, and this is why you don’t want them to stick around. They hold you to the past, and in the past…

You may often wonder why things have happened as they have. You may be full of personal regret for what you have done and left undone and you may also be full of blame toward others. But then we are left with this. Right now, you are standing where you are. The past is over, completely gone.

Love is the reality. Love is the energy of Divineness.

Love is God. Love is the moment. The moment

is now, not the past which has gone

or the future which is yet to unfold.

In absolutely everything we think and do there are only two positions to think and act from. We can choose (consciously or unconsciously) between love or fear. When we act out of fear we literally create the experiences and conditions in our external reality that corresponds to that fear. When we act out of love, we attract corresponding conditions that are created by love. WHICH WILL YOU CHOOSE TODAY? Your conscious choice will shape the quality of your experiences.

I believe that there is something called fate, and then there is destiny.

Fate is something that we decided before we were born. We decided to learn things in this particular lifetime that may not be to our physical being’s liking—perhaps having abusive parents or some sort of addiction.

I’ve discovered that I have greater success with living life in the present moment when I remove judgment from what I’m experiencing. Rather than making an event a bad or a good experience, I find myself being in the “isness” of the moment; that is, what I’m feeling is much more helpful than why it isn’t what I think it should be.

In the 20th verse of the Tao Te Ching, you’re encouraged to experience your life free of worldly striving. Lao-tzu advises you to slow down your incessant demands for more, and to relax your efforts to fill up every moment in anticipation of being somewhere else. You’re invited to experience life in a way that can be summarized in the title of Ram Dass’s book Be Here Now.

Today is a day to touch the heart of the universe, to touch the hem of God, to feel and be the great connection that we are, to be one with all of the love and joy that is.

Really, you may not create every circumstance in your life, yet you do create an interpretation of every circumstance. When you spill milk, you might cry over it, or you might be one who laughs at it. In any case, you wipe it up. So why cry over it?

Dear friend, have you ever wondered what time is? Once you truly understand the real meaning of time, you will never experience worry, anxiety and unhappiness again. Actually time is just an illusion.

Holding onto regret is like dragging the weight of the past

with us everywhere we go. It drains our energy, leaving less

available for life in the present because we are constantly

feeding an old issue. This attachment can cause illness

the same way watering a dead plant creates decay.
