The Power of Living in the Now

Hello folks out there in Blogger land!

Today I would like to write about a topic that is dear to my heart. The Power of Living in the Now!
People today place too much focus on their past or what may happen in the future. People that accomplish great things in this life do not dwell on past mistakes, or who may have wronged them. They foster a spirit of forgiveness.....where there's not much room for a spirit of resentment. Resentment and an unforgiving spirit can literally make you sick! William Osler MD quoted in the early 1900's - "The organs weep the tears the eyes refuse to shed." I would suggest that a good way to clear resentment or worry would be to set aside say a half hour a day to fret about what may be troubling your heart. Do your worrying and harboring of resentment during that set aside time, and then refocus on your goals for the day. Whatever negative thought or emotion we focus on takes away from our ability to accomplish in the now.
Life is too precious to hold past mistakes or to fret about the future. Live in the now and give that your attention, and you will accomplish great things!
