LIVE IN THE NOW

-

 




“Forever is composed of now’s” Emily Dickinson

   Living in the now is the ability to take in all there is in the present, and welcome it with an open heart and mind without cheating your present with the past or future. Often, we lie to ourselves to be living in the now yet in all truth, we live in the past and the great imagination of the future. We are often more frightened of our own imagination than the reality we experience than we care to admit.

  The presence of a thrilling and tranquil life is as a result of living in the breath, and that’s the art that a few have been able to master. We’re so busy watching out for what’s just ahead of us, being absent in the present that we don’t take time to enjoy where we are. And at the end of the day, we live with a haunting past, a judging conscious of what we were not able to accomplish when we could, and the opportunities we missed yet they were right before our eyes, and by our own minds we limit ourselves!

   It’s in the present, that we are able to draw all that is in us and expose it for the sake of ourselves and the rest of the world and likewise, we take in all that the world has to offer in the moment. That’s how we grow while expanding our wings without limitation of the past and fear of the future.

   With all honesty, let’s accept that there is much more in the present and let it be our primary focus. Then, we will realize that its worth more than the credit we give it. And above all, when we live in the moment, we give and take and that’s the beauty of life, being able to share.

“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.” Eleanor Roosevelt.

BEST PROJECT YOU WILL EVER WORK ON IS YOU

   We are human beings capable of practice makes perfect as the saying goes. Though, often times we love skyscrapers without firm foundations and when they fall in the future, we blame it on the materials and everything that helps us numb the guilt.    When you look closely though, signs are all over the place. Its like God is trying to show you something and the universe is clearly pointing it to you. Your instinct playing the loyal friend while you brush it off and hush it to silence. This is the part we all play blind. Funny, the ability to pretend not to see with eyes wide open. We seem to have mastered that too. We ought to acknowledge the fact that delayed preparation leads to delayed results. Same to the prayers we say but are not prepared enough to receive them.   We want to become what we have only created theoretically with a lot of procrastination spiced up by inconsistency and dreamland is our best place to reside. Working is as good as practic...

WALK YOUR OWN WALK

  More often we are drawn away from our own self-importance as a result of comparing ourselves to the person next to us, due to society or our own selves. We are more worried about how we can be like them, achieve what they have achieved, live life like the way they are living it, and most times we succeed in doing just that. We live on earth with our bodies present doing the actions of the other person, closing the door to our own creativity of all kind that lies in each one of us, and guess what happens, we live the life of another person and by that, we succeed in throwing our own selves   away like we do not matter. Many times, we live life trying to convince ourselves that we are not cowards or we can do better than the people we are comparing ourselves to, and we forget that we should walk our own walk. I believe we should look at other people’s best versions as away of finding inspiration and not comparison. We should be more courageous enough to walk our own path and...

OUR KIND OF DIFFERENT SHADES.

     We all have those “us” who are visible to the eyes of people and then those “us” who can only be seen by our own eyes alone and our creator. Our own eyes are usually suppressed by society’s lay out format of living, expressing ideas, and voicing inner thoughts, history made by our own heroes, our own kinsmen mindsets and our ignorance too, plays a big role. We are convinced of how beauty, genius, success and many others should look like. We move steadily on motivational words, foundations, said and set respectively, by those before us and take them to heart. We forget that these individuals were also discovering themselves, navigating life like many of us. They were on a journey they did not know where it would lead them, it was an experience. Those, whose experience, is meant to take us out, sometimes keeps us guarded and acts as a limitation. Now, we have chosen  to watch  from the sidelines. Caging oneself inside because of other people’s limited sig...
