I have been putting a great deal of thought into this idea of the 'now'. We spend so much time worrying about what might happen in the future or fretting over what happened in the past, that we forget to live now. We burden ourselves so unnecessarily when you think about it. Worry is a waste of energy. We can not alter some things in life but we worry about it. It is a very pointless exercise because all that worry and still nothing changes except we have made ourselves even more stressed and possibly ill through doing so. And worrying over the past. What has happened can not be undone yet we still worry about it. We torture ourselves in so many different ways.
How many beautiful sunsets have we missed because our thoughts are distracted ? How many smiles have we only vaguely acknowledged because our minds are busy worrying about what we will cook for dinner tomorrow ? We spend so much time worrying, judging ourselves, letting our imaginations run riot until we get no peace even in sleep. Maybe we should just live in the 'now' and deal with life as it comes. Life is for living , not for worrying every second of it away.
Today is the day you worried about yesterday. Tomorrow becomes today and today becomes the past.
"Yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream."
