A Resident of Time

Week to week, day to day, hour to hour, minute by minute, second by second

How do you live your life? Are you fully in the present moment?

Or are you stuck in your past, reliving things that have already happened and cannot be changed? Ponder this: the past is called the past for a reason. When you dwell in the past, it becomes your future.

Or, is it that you cannot stay in the present moment because you are worried about the future? Worry does nothing but add lines to your brow. Picture this: take your worries and place them high on a shelf, so high that it takes a ladder to reach, and then throw the ladder in the trash so that you can never reach that shelf again. Sometimes your eyes may flicker up, but, that's ok because you know you cannot reach your worries anymore.

Staying right here, right now, living for each moment may not be the easiest thing you've ever achieved; but once you've attained this higher level of living you'll never want to look back. Some people call it being present, I like to say: living for the minute.

Where do you reside?
