We are caught in the three time zones whether we realise it or not. For some they are permanently caught in the past. These are people who like to glorify their past to give them the self confidence and self esteem they need to live in the present. An ego booster if you like to call it. As an example this is persons who had done well for himself and is a so-called “somebody” once. Unfortunately in the present for some reason he is a nobody, lost all his friends and self-esteem. So he keeps referring to his past what he did and who he was. For such people they live in the “I was” state of mind.
Now let’s look at people who live in the future. These are people who live in the “what if”. They are always dreaming of a better future. Talk about it to anyone and everyone who would listen but they do nothing about it. Plan for the future if you must but you need to work out a plan to realise your future. Example if you wish to have better paying job than the one you have, it is of no use to say if only I have a better job that pays me well so that I can afford all the good thing is life. Saying is one thing but you need to have a plan to get the better paid job by taking lessons, by upgrading yourself so that you can qualify for the better paid job. In other words plan an action and action your plan.
Now let’s look at the present – this is the time for you to correct your mistakes and ensure that your action is the right action. The present is to be in the moment and not tomorrow or the next for that is the future. Every moment slips into the next from past to present to future all in one continuous time continuum even as I am writing this blog.
For the future to be glorious you need to correct the present. Learn from the past by all means think about the past by all means but do not live in the past. Think about your future by all means but no not live in it, rather plan towards reaching it.
The time is NOW!
