Show Me How to Live (Day 143)

I’ve sat with this one for the morning, and I’m not sure it’s so much about how to live as it’s about when to live.

Here’s what I’m talking about:

The past only lives in memory, and because of that truth, it’s not in the here-and-now physical space, and cannot be affected by any amount of work.

The future is all make-believe and fantasy, no matter how focused, or pleasant, or troubling… it’s 100% made up.

We can really only live in the moment, the here-and-now.

By tirelessly taking FULL advantage of each moment, at the end of things you’ll be surprised to find that the life you’ve made for yourself is pretty remarkable.

Get to it. I want to be able to congratulate you in the afterlife.

(See y’all tomorrow… but I’d rather you be in the now)
