We spend much of our days thinking and preparing for the future, or possibly even trying to figure out the events of the past. I myself was guilty of this, until I crash landed on the conclusion that both past and future are completely out of our control. The past is behind us, and as for the future, this quote really is a tell all. "Life is what happens while were busy making plans". As hard as we try to plan for the ideal future, there is a higher power that has a grip on things and will take you in a direction u least expect. That's why it boggles my mind that people don't converse with this higher power on a daily basis, but that's a whole other blog post. So if living in the past or planning for the future isn't exactly healthy, than what is? Well it's a simple concept called living in the present moment. Look around you right now and be thankful for everything you do have, a family, your health, the computer your using and the pillow you'll rest your head on tonight. Breathe in life as it's happening around you, and stop drowning your mind in an unpredictable future. Instead of walking home from the subway thinking about the chores of tomorrow, open your eyes to life today. Reality is that tomorrow can be taken from us or changed in the fraction of a second, so experience life as you know it. Sit within nature in awe of the beauty that has been placed around us, not to be looked past. This life is a final exam that you didn't get the chance to study for, but you have been given "in class" resources to help you pass...
