The reality you imagine for your future can never happen as you imagine it simply because what you feel now is implanted into what you imagine the future to be, and that is impossible to know. Do you see, you can’t take what you “feel” into the future, which alone negates any future you imagine. In other words, “NOW” only works now! Be present; the future does not exist, but YOU, “NOW,” do!

You are not what you describe yourself to be. Humans have an odd need to express their accomplishments and history as if what they are right now is not enough. Could anything you have done or planned be more incredible than YOU right now, at this very moment? If you could only stop describing who or what you are, you might(actually) get to experience who or what YOU are. Show up, but shut up; descriptions are never necessary when it’s YOU.

We may not be able to go back in time and change anything that happened, but we can alter any suffering or damage we think it has caused. Now is the only place in all existence, all eternity, where anything gets done. Whatever you do, do it NOW!

What you think in any situation is the “long path” because thinking carries bias, prior learning, fears, and judgments, all illogical concerning present circumstances. Do you see? Your thinking is looking for a way around unfavorable experience when silencing the noise of thinking offers clarity and intuition that would provide a way “through.” In short, the ultimate engagement with the present situation is going straight through it without irrelevant (past) garbage hindering the way. “Be still” and be inspired.
