“In my experience, there is no past, there is no future. Everything simply is.” — Sadhguru

Living in The Now is the trickiest of party tricks.

Our minds scream at us and drag us back into our past to review our mistakes, ruminate over our missteps, and feel the pain of our traumas over and over again.

And just as perversely — this very same brain will propel us at the speed of light into our yet-to-be-lived future. There we will play out scenarios which never occur as our bodies respond to the stimuli of anxiety and fear. We will make vast plans and expect outcomes — only to sink into disappointment or depression when our path diverts long before we reach ‘Our Goal”.

Somewhere in My Dreamscape last night The Universe blessed me with this:

We don’t need to live like this.

We don’t need to think about any of it. We can let it all go and just be.

Easier said than done — believe me I know. But stick with me for a moment.

We don’t need to push our brains all around our personal timeline. We can stop where we are Right In This Moment and allow all the rest of The Moments to see to themselves.

It’s less about a Pondering of Our Past and Faith in Our Future than a Knowing In Our Now. We can change not one…
