“This moment contains all moments.” C. S. Lewis
I can think of three types of thinkers. There are those who think in the past. Others think in the present. There are those who think in the future. A past thinker lives his or her entire life in the past. A present thinker lives life in the present moment and now. A future-thinker lives life in the future.
In his book titled Excuses Begone, Dr Wayne Dyer advises us to "stay present: every second, every minute, and every hour. Every day of your life is full of present moments of infinite value. You won't find God yesterday or tomorrow - your Source is always here and now."
To be living a life in the past is an illusion. To be living a life in the future is fantasy. To be living a life in the present is to be living in the presence of the living God. He created you to live in his present. Your life is therefore for living in the present.
To keep thinking in the past is to keep reminding yourself of the things that had gone badly wrong in your life, the things you no longer want in your life. To keep thinking in the future is to keep building your castle in the air. The more time you spend thinking about your life in the past and in the future, the less time you will have to think about your life in the present moment.
What you are now is a creation of what you were in the past and will create what you will be in the future. The now is when you can do what you could not do in the past. What you do now also determines what your life will be in the future. That is why they say you can create your future today.
When you keep thinking about the past and the future in the present moment, you miss the opportunity of aligning your thoughts and action with your Source who lives in the present and in the past or in the future.
When you become a friend of the moment, and just keep taking things as they come into your life without being hostile to them, you are making the most of what life has for you. You are avoiding spending your valuable time wrestling with the past and fantasising about the future.
You can show appreciation and gratitude for the present by noticing what is happening now in all areas of your life; your health, your children, your spouse, your job, your finance, your home, your environment, your education, etc. and find a reason to thank God for everything. The present is a precious gift, why throwing it away for the past that is already gone or for the future that may never be.
