Live in the Moment
I'm reading a great book right now - "5 Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die".
One of the "secrets" really hit me because of the pace of my life right now. It was simply "Live in the Moment". It talked about how we tend to focus on something in the past (regret...success...offense...etc...) &/or something in the future (where we are going after this meeting...our vacation next month...what we'd like to do...etc...) And because of that - we tend to not be fully in the moments we have right now (with our friends...family...self...etc...). So I have tried to really focus on that - live in the moment I have right now...It has made a difference w/in me at certain moments for sure...
Perhaps you too need to do the same thing - enjoy the moment you are in right now - not the one gone nor the one that is supposed to come...
Peace...

Thanks Pastor, I needed this. I have alot going on right now and I find myself always looking ahead to try and stay caught up. Of course it doesn't ever work, in fact it actually hinders my process because I begin dwelling on how I'm going to handle something that isn't set to happen for another month or more. Therefore, me worrying about what "may" happen, I don't give enough attention to what "is" happening!!!!
So today I will promise myself to stop and smell the roses and carry band-aids in my pocket for the inevitable thorns!
We all would enjoy life so much more if we remember to " Be here now " if you are with someone remember they need your full attention! Thanks Bob.
