NOW

NOW

One of the greatest challenges of man is his desire to get into the future as quickly as possible, his anxiety of what that future holds, and his crave for the perfect life. Many just want to get out of the moment, they want to escape their current situation, and move into the unknown, and uncertain bliss of tomorrow.

Interestingly, the best way to have our desired future is to live in the moment. However terrible the moment is, however bad and undesired the present situation may be, running away from it does not make tomorrow better. The only way to have the tomorrow of your dream, is to do today what is required and necessary of you, to avoid a tomorrow of regrets.

Today was tomorrow, and tomorrow will soon become yesterday. Until you understand the transient nature of time, we may never use it as we should. Yesterday is no more, and tomorrow is yet uncertain, today is all we have, we must live fully in it, or risk not living at all. A cumulation of today's efforts will produce the success of tomorrow.

In Bert McCoy words, "The here and now is fathomless." You can not know enough of today, you can not use all of today, today is too much for you to handle, why get bothered over tomorrow while today is yet a chunk of unfinished meal. The future depends on NOW, if you fail to make use of today, tomorrow will suffer for it. So, live in the moment, live NOW, and tomorrow will be just fine.
