“Life is Living in the present moment..”
The first time I heard that I hadn’t taken the time to understand it.
What does it mean? What does “Living in the present moment” mean?
Now, let’s summarize this together; it means exactly just that! We all have to live in the present moment.
If we still live in the past, we won’t move on, and we won’t enjoy the moment. If you fear your future, you won’t enjoy the present moment and guess what? You won’t even want the present, which will benefit your future!!
Living in the moment means connecting with yourself without thinking about the past or the future. Now, don’t get me wrong. I am not saying that you should not plan for your future. I firmly believe you should picture yourself in your future and take action TODAY to reach that goal. Living in constant fear and playing the victim will not lead you anywhere; it will drain you.
Yes, you have been hurt in the past, but staying hurt is not useful. You will be abusing yourself. Take the time you need to learn from the past to be a better version of yourself today. Your current version will help you with your future, but you have to let go of the past. The past stays in the past, but LEARN from IT. You may have made mistakes in the past, but SO WHAT? You are a human being who is imperfect and who will always be imperfect. I’ve done some things that make me cringe, but, you see, I am glad I have done them because it allowed me to be the person that I am today, and to enable me to work on myself to be the best version of myself. It is still a work in progress, but I am excited to see what the future holds for me. That is exactly how I hope you can feel and to envision yourself five years from now. It would help if you didn’t let the past stop you nor let toxic people put you down or let them be a part of your life.
Live in the current moment, let go of that past, and stop fearing the future. Enjoy today. Build NEW MEMORIES! Sit down with yourself and get to know YOU. What do YOU want? Let go of that little negative voice in your head. It does not serve you any purpose. Be kind to yourself.
Be happy.
Live today.
Stay connected with GOOD friends and family.
Picture yourself in the future and try to find a purpose. Build new memories and do things that you LOVE. Build new memories and do things that you LOVE. Surrounding yourself with negative people or negative thoughts will only make you unhappy. Living in constant fear will also make you unhappy. Do not search for happiness, but BUILD your satisfaction without comparing yourself with others. Interestingly, it only consists of getting to know YOU! Other people’s happiness will not define your happiness.
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live life if you compare yourself to others.
You will never live life if you are comparing yourself to others.
Living in fear will only make you miss opportunities to build your empire of happiness. And, you know what happens when you have reached that point?
You will never let anybody step in YOUR EMPIRE because you RULE it, and nobody will ever be able to spread their venom in it.
Reread that and think about it.
Your life, your choice, focus on the present moment and take advantage of it.
Yours truly,
Melody xoxo
