Tomorrow may or may not come but what we know we have the NOW.
People tend to focus their energy on past and future events but forget to live today and in the NOW. Futuristic goals are important to keep you motivated and your mind set on something and past experiences are great, or not so great, memories but forgetting about the NOW detours your goals and does not help what has already come and gone or may come.
All we have to live for is the moment. People need to find happiness within their selves and within the present moment before we can carry out future happiness. People tend to focus on past events or obstacles that have either made them happy or future goals that will make them happy but what about today, right NOW! Do we know if we will wake up tomorrow or what the future has in store for us? The answer is NO. Why focus all of our energy and hopes on what we do not know will ever come. Some people live their lives so set in the future that they cannot even focus on the present moment.
People spend their lives focusing on how happy they are going to be when…. It may be a promotion, new car, winning a show, meeting the person of your dreams, a new outfit, or whatever it may be but nothing but you and focusing on the present moment can and will bring you happiness. In the sport of fitness and figure, so much of our time is placed in the past and future but not so much in the now. We are so excited, training hard for future shows, and to accomplish future goals. Post contest we are so consumed with how the show went and what we need to do to better ourselves and our placing.
The bottom line is we need to take a few moments each day to reflect on ourselves and focus on the moment. Be Happy NOW, not tomorrow or yesterday but NOW. By taking the time to live in the moment and be grateful for your lives and who you are, you will only prevail and find Happiness that will last you a lifetime but it all starts NOW!
