No. Now is it. It's the pivot point of...everything. Not just a little. It's everything. No past, no future. Just now. Wow. If you've ever read about the power of the now moment you probably already understand this, at least intellectually. Now let me ask you, do you find yourself ever checking out of now? With coffee, cigarettes, anger, shopping, alcohol, passion, sex, fantasy...or anything else? So let's dive in and get a better handle on now. Keep reading...
So here's the NOW of it. There are only ever two choices, really. Be here or be elsewhere. Now is the place of all choices you want that support your life. Elsewhere is the place of out-of-conscious choices. No real control. No real power. Now is choice. Elsewhere is checked out.
Many of us (current company included) have spent years checked out. Being elsewhere. I spent just as much time being harsh to myself at being checked out. Not a productive use of me. It's another way to remain checked out. Now is better, especially when I decide to be easier with myself. I recommend to clients all the time to hold themselves in higher esteem than they usually do. You can do the same and I strongly urge you to.
Want to spend a tiny bit more time in NOW every day and find out what's possible for you? Set a timer or check your watch and spend just 5 minutes a day reminding yourself (being conscious). You'll find it's much easier than you think and reaps great rewards. You'll find you'll naturally WANT to spend more time in the now. It's the safest place there is. It's also the ONLY place there is.
Good luck showing up for yourself!
Warmest regards,
Rudy Hunter
