The present moment is all we have. Everything happens in the present. It’s the place of true creative power, and it is where our wisdom and love is shared. Those who embody presence honor the past, keep an eye on the future—including setting goals and making plans—yet live right here, right now.
Why, then, do so many people have difficulty being present? Simply put, they are distracted, preoccupied with the thoughts and stories between their ears—their anxieties, fears, obsessions, hopes, dreams, and wishes. In a word, their story. Their story about who they think they are, what they want to become, and what they’re seeking to avoid, what they’re running from.
But when people stand back and observe themselves, and realize that their thoughts, their story comes and goes, yet they—as this aware, conscious being—are always present, a shift may happen.
They in a real sense find themselves truly present. They are right here, now. The thought may arise: “So, this is what it means to be awake, present.” Then they just breathe, and relax it being, and smile at the simplicity of it all!
