"The future is no place to place your better days."
~Dave Matthews Band
It's easy to put the best days of your life somewhere in the future, or worse in the past, but what about today?
What does it benefit you to always be looking forward?
When you were very small did you wish you could go to school, maybe while watching older siblings or neighbors get onto the school bus?
When you were in school did you wish you were 'out in the world,' with a career and money and fabulous friends who partied every night?
When you began to work did you then start looking forward to, wishing for, retirement?
Do you see the pattern here?
If we keep this up we end up with a life made of wishes, and most likely regrets too.
As I write this I'm sitting on my bed. My son is across the room watching Saturday morning cartoons. The smell of freshly baked bread is coming from my kitchen. This beautiful home, this beautiful family is mine to enjoy right here, right now.
Stop for a moment. Look around you taking everything in. Forget about anything that should be done and focus on what is perfect for you right now.
Doesn't that feel good?
Namaste,
