THE POWER OF NOW
Striving for the future and thinking about the past is one of the most common things people spend their life in... Although it is good to strive for the future, as thinking about the future helps us in planning thinking in advance and also helps us in preparing for what is coming, and thinking about the past helps us to learn from the past lessons and the things we did or experienced help us navigate the world better, but we never live in future or past...
From the time we are born, we have many experiences, personal, emotional, professional, social, public, etc... These experiences help us grow, and they give us an idea of what to expect in the future and what is the probability of happening it... Also past feelings and emotions help us grow, and we learn to manage our emotions better... Past works as a review sheet of our performance in life, which we review from time to time to understand our growth and things we achieved or lost... Thinking like that, past experiences are really important for all of us...
People like me, are not too much interested in the past they are much more focused on the future... They are always thinking about the future, making plans about the future, and thinking of ways to fulfill them... When I can't work anymore and I am tired, I sit in a place and think about a pleasant future that I can have and how I would feel relaxed, or the ways that I won't have to work more... Even when I don't want to work or do my best, I think about the future, and how working now, and pushing myself would be worth it in the future...
Although all these things are good sides of the past and future, we should actually live in the present moment... We are humans, and we are here in the world to live... The basic and first thing we have to do is to live, and then we need to survive and procreate... As society advanced we have created many institutions and rules and regulations for everything, but we forgot to live...
The first priority of any human is to live... And to live is to be in NOW... We will never live in the future... We will never live in the past... And the only way to live is to be in here, now... That is our only way to live...
When we think that we were happy or sad in the past, and we ponder upon or live upon the things that happened in the past, what we don't realize is the time, the present, the moment to live now is getting out of our hand...
And when we think about being happy in the future it is also that we can never be happy in the future... Because there is nothing called the future, there is nothing called the past.. all there is NOW...
The past you remember is just a memory, there is nothing more than that... There is no existence of it anymore... And the future you dream of may never be there, and if it ever becomes reality, you will experience it as resentment... So to experience future happiness you have to be preset... And to make your past good, you have to be present... Because what you are doing now is creating a past for your tomorrow... And the future that will be tomorrow would not be experienced if you are not present in the now...
