Life Limits and Possibility

Let’s see. I have a million tasks to do today. I’ve got people to see, places to be and you’re talking about living in the moment? Right, who do you think I am, Superman or Superwoman? Can you please come back when I’m not so busy?

When I hear about living in the moment, I pretty much think the same thing as I believe many others do. It is for some people, but it sure isn’t for me! Life is just too busy and too complicated and the days never slow down it seems.

When we are mindful and conscious of our day, the best parts of it will rise to the top. We’ll see what is essential without much effort.

Living in the moment means that you take stock of what experiences you have lived through and find a way for them to create better experiences for you today. It means you take into account all that exists at this moment and find the best way to build it into something more.

Far too often, I believe many take the concept of living in the moment and act as if it is a pass to all that you experience. It becomes a conscious hiding from everything in life rather than a grounded embrace of it all. Living in the moment is not about selectively enjoying life, but embracing all parts of it. For the more, we embrace in

Living in the moment is not about selectively enjoying life, but embracing all parts of it. For the more we embrace and reclaim in our lives, the more capacity we have to participate in more profound peace and joy.
