""Your entire life consists of the present moment!!""
Are you in the present right now?
completely present with your mind & body??
Are you aware of your breathing right now??? or how many times you are aware of your breathing in a day?
These questions are just to realize how much present we are in our daily lives.
Aware of your breath, thoughts, what you are doing conciously, knowing the worth and purpose of what you are doing is said to be present in your now!
We are living in a world entirely hypnotized by the illusion of time. In which present moment is felt nothing but a very small hairline between a causative past & absorbingly important future. We have no present.Our conciousness is mostly pre-occupied with memory & expectation.
We do not realise that there is no other experience than present experience. We are therefore out of touch with reality!
How many things in our life that we do that are in habit, and just do without being present in that moment?! for example, driving, walking, scrolling feeds, brushing teeth, bathing, drinking, eating, praying...
Many times in a lecture/ class/meeting/prayer we lose our attention & lost in a world of thoughts of past or future. Same thing happens while driving, brushing teetth, bathing, walking, drinking, eating and such routine activities.
tommorrow try brushing your teeth with opposite hand & experience how present you are in that moment!😃
When we observe our thoughts, we see that 90% of our mind is occupied with thoughts of past or worry of future, which leads to disturbing our present. Being in present is the most beautiful experience you can have everryday..
past is gone, future is unpredictable, but present , today, now! is contollable & in your hands!!!
make your present useful, worthy, & fruitful! because thats only gonna define your future...present is in your hands!
Remember:-
"what time is it?"
"Now"
"where are you?"
"Here"
"what are you?"
"This moment!!"
whenever your attention begins to drift off to other times & thoughts, I want you to snap back & remember that time is now & place is here.
"It's ruinous for the soul to be anxious about the future and miserable in advance of misery, engulfed by anxiety that the things it desires might remain its own until the very end. For such a soul will never be at rest-by longing for things to come it will lose the ability to enjoy present things."
