In The Moment…
by Steven Downward in An Entrepreneurs StoriesOK. This is something that I have wanted to share for a little bit and today just seemed like the right time for me to share this with you. Now I have to admit, this is not some business strategy or marketing tip. This is more to do with a life tip. But the funny thing is that these life tips play a bigger role in how we run our business than anything else.
Let me explain…
I don’t know if you realize the power of this. This is what I have experienced that has made the biggest changes in my life and I have grown and done the most when I’m present. I am sure that if you think about it, you will find this to be true for you too.
When we live in the present moment, there are no fears. You see, fear is about something that is coming, ie, the future. When you are present and in the moment, there are no thoughts of the future which make fear non-existent. All you are doing is being you and doing your best in this moment. Through doing this, you can achieve great things.
Now I talked about a quote from a great movie called “Kung Fu Panda“. In the movie, this old 1000 year of turtle talks about the present and how it is a gift. So here is that quote.
“You are too concerned with what was and what will be. There is a saying, yesterday is a history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift, THAT IS WHY IT IS CALLED THE PRESENT.”
If you read this quote and really listen to what it he is saying, you will understand that through living in the moment is where is where the real power of life is. Not in the future or in the past but the moment, the now.
I hope that you take this and you life in your moment right now. The sooner that you do, the happier you will be.
