“Where Are You?”

The Past.

The Present.

The Future.

“Where are you stuck?”

“The Past”?

How much baggage are you carrying from your past? Why? What good has come from dragging it along, day after day after day?  How can you ever live in “The Present” with a foot still stuck in “The Past”?

You can’t!

“The Future”?

Seems to me it’s kinda difficult to live in a space that doesn’t exist – enough said. More importantly, we’re not guaranteed a “tomorrow”, we are given just “today” – and even THAT is only if we wake up! (Literally and figuratively)

So, that leaves us with…

“The Present”

I’m talking about “right now, this very moment”. That’s all we get. “The Now”.

If you’re not living in “The Present”, what’s holding you back?

For many it’s the fear that by letting go you’ll lose part of yourself. But isn’t THAT the point of letting go – to get rid of it? To cleanse yourself of unwanted baggage so you can continue moving forward and become a better version of “You”?

If it helps, think of your life as a book. Each experience – good, bad or otherwise – is a chapter in YOUR book of life. Generally, characters and storylines develop as each chapter unfolds, just as your life develops and grows as each day passes.

It’s not about FORGETTING what happened, but ACKNOWLEDGING that events of YOUR past have shaped and molded you into who you are AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME.

Remove even a single experience (chapter) from your book and “BAM”, your life would be different.Vastly different.

Maybe you’ve heard this before and maybe you haven’t – but it’s worth repeating – “Today” is called “The Present” because every day you’re on earth is a gift from God.

It’s the greatest gift imaginable.

God has a plan for yor life. There may be days you question His plan or wonder if there really is a plan. On those days, Trust Him. He’ll never do you any harm. He loves you. He’ll protect you from evil. Always. Forever.

Start today. Not tomorrow.

Start “Now”
