Well, do you know why? Because it is darn hard to do so - that is why!
I know what the saying implies we should do - "Count your Blessings" - "Live in the Moment" - "Be Here Now", "Live like you are dying" -- but it is very hard to do this without a real effort!
But it is critical that we do this - and put the effort in!
Try not to be totally distracted by the daily grind - the constant battles, struggles, issues, challenges and problems that we inevitably face every single hour - and step back to realize how good we all have it despite our current situations!!
Life is about the PRESENT!! But often we look past the present to the future (often filled with anxiety, worry, and fear) and are mired in the PAST at the same time!
Where is the PRESENT? The PRESENT is all that matters and all that should matter!
Sure, learn from the mistakes of the PAST - but leave the past where it belongs!!! In the PAST!
The PAST does not by any means define you as a person, and has no impact on what you can be - what you are - TODAY or going forward!
Stop worrying about the FUTURE!!! Take care of the PRESENT and the Future will take care of itself!!!!
It is not easy - but nothing worth doing is ever easy now is it??
Start a New Chapter in your life right now!!!!! YOU control it!
Live in THIS moment right now because there is no other point in the time spectrum that matters at all!!!!
Kiss your kids, your spouse, your friends -- experience the JOY of having these loved ones in your life every day - with you during your journey!!
Do not wait until it is toooooo late to enjoy their presence - their love - the joy their existence brings you!!
Stay Strong and do not only listen to those old cliches - Grasp them, embrace them -- and use them!
