Life is not a journey from point A to point Z. Life is a moment by moment creation.
Situations are not life, you are ‘life’ itself. You are life and every situation gets defined by you.
Time is an illusion created by us by connecting each moment as a continuity and experiencing the definitions we give to our reality.
You are not the same person at any given moment.
The person who you are in this moment is different from the person you were in a previous moment.
But somewhere in our past certain systems, or some person convinced us to believe that we are the same person every moment, so unconsciously we decided that what happens to one version of us from a past moment continues to happen to all versions of ourselves every moment.
This is a belief we adapted, but it does not need to be that way. If the past does not serve you anymore, you have the power to let it go because it really does not exist in the new moment until you drag it into the new moment.
Every moment we are shifting into different versions of ourselves.
Every new moment gives us the opportunity to shift into better and beautiful versions of ourselves.
But if we continue to define ourselves with a past narrative and continue to react to it, we will continue to create the same old version of ourselves over and over in every new moment. This actually makes us feel stuck and creates enormous stress.
The things you remember as being your past never happened to you who is in this present moment.
The You in this now moment is a new being unless you in your mind carry all the baggage of the past moment and identify yourself with them and define yourself again and again with that past story and create a personality of yourself with all that happened in the past.
Every new moment is a gift given to recreate and renew oneself.
And you are a master being who can choose to write a new and beautiful story about your new version, you get to decide how you want to define yourself at any given moment.
When we take time to be present, and experience everything fully, we get to realize who we are. If we do not take time to come into the present moment, we continue to carry all the baggage of the past and we become reactionary whenever something comes up, we get into worry and doubt.
There is power only in the present moment. The present moment wakes you up to self realization.
In order for something to come into your life, you have to invite it or give it permission by thoughts, words or feelings.
To want change, you have to start by putting out what you want. It is like sowing what you want to reap.
Really start understanding that you are literally a different person every moment. How you define yourself is how you experience yourself at any given moment.
Connecting with the Present Moment:
To be in the present moment is to be centered in the here and now with all your physical senses.
Bring conscious awareness to all the physical senses of touch, hearing, sight, taste and breath.
Be in the present moment consciously connected with things of the present moment.
Notice your breath, feel your heart beat, hear the birds song, if you washing dishes connect with the water, the soap and the dishes, connect with the things in your present moment consciously, keep focusing on your sensations, indicating that you are here, present in the now moment. Take time to feel completely how this feels.
Then start giving gratitude. The Attitude of Gratitude is a powerful communication with the present moment.
Start your gratitude communication by saying, ‘I am so grateful… for this body, for my breath, my ability to hear, to think, to express love, to appreciate, to give, to feel, go on and on consciously feeling every word you say.
When you put your thoughts, words and feelings you are defining yourself, you are giving meaning to your life experiences.
Situations have no in-built meanings, the meaning for everything is the meaning we give it.
So in this present moment when you get into the powerful attitude of gratitude, you write a new and beautiful story and existence responds by bringing towards you everything that you need, to create a new and beautiful version of you.
Reality molds itself according to the definition you give it, so consciously decide who you want to be at any given moment.
It takes diligent practice to bring oneself over and over again into the present moment with gratitude, since the mind tends to wander away from the powerful present moment.
Blessings!
