You know, when you love life, suffering disappears. All things you judge right or not right give way to splendor, beauty, and myriad wonders all rolled up in “you,” wholly caught up in your experience. Stories, and all suffering, is stories lose their pizazz when living presently and in love. Close the book on your past or future. Living starts now!

If you think you must dwell on the past, conjure up your trials and tribulations, you give way to a severe drain on your power, and that will hold you captive to emotionality instead of reality. If you must go to your past, only go to those points where you were empowered, healthy, and whole. Eventually, you will build up enough power to stay ever-present because your reality does not happen behind you nor in front of you.
The real transformation in life is YOU, powerful, NOW! Be present, be strong, be life!

Your mind is a traveler; only its travels are to the unreal. Forward, backward, and all points in between except for the only “point” that matters. Do you know what it is?
Seriously, when does anything real actually happen? Why would you want to be anywhere else than here now? Let the day live YOU, and keep it real!

It is the nature of Reasonableness; thus, most humans to turn the unfamiliar into the familiar. In other words, we love the safety of familiarity, even if it is wrong, which it typically is. Every moment is a dance with the infinite, and the infinite is a complete mystery even to itself. Your mind is constantly comparing “what was” to the puzzle before you “now” and translating it into something that just isn’t. Reasonableness makes infinity look like anything but “what is,” and that is a tragic loss of this moment’s preciousness.
Throw caution to the wind, be unreasonable, and life unfolds without your resistance; its gift to you will always be a surprise.

There is no right or wrong when confronting the unknown, and the present moment is always an unknown revealing itself without consideration of your attempts to overlay it with the “once known, e.g., previous experience.” Do you see? Humans impulsively compare “what is” to “what was” and, based on the assessment of prior experience (right, wrong, good, bad, etc.), end up making a mess of the only possibility available to experience reality.
You can only do what you are doing when you are doing it, and the joy you experience is when “doing it” is free of your comparison of it to something that no longer is. In other words, nowness is the brand-new playground of reality. So, go play!

Your search for whatever it is you seek is a coming from or a going to. Did you get that? Coming from is the past and going to is the future. Neither exists. In other words, “what is” is all there is, and it requires nothing you seek in the “non-existent” (past or future) to know its miracles. Life never passes you by; you do that unwittingly looking for it where it cannot be. Where YOU stand now is holy ground; not what you search for elsewhere. Stand still and know the looker who looks. That’s when you see.

What we did yesterday and what we do today have no bearing on anything that happens tomorrow. Tomorrow does not exist, nor does yesterday. All we can do is experience now, and the best way to experience anything is to cease thinking about nonexistent things. You and I, at this moment, are all there is or will ever be.
