Are you worried? Do you have many "what if" thoughts? You are identified with your mind, which is projecting itself into an imaginary future situation and creating fear. There is no way that you can cope with such a situation, because it doesn't exist. It's a mental phantom. You can stop this health- and life-corroding insanity simply by acknowledging the present moment. Become aware of your breathing. Feel the air flowing in and out of your body. Feel your inner energy field. All that you ever have to deal with, cope with, in real life-as opposed to imaginary mind projections-is this moment. Ask yourself what "problem" you have right now, not next year, tomorrow, or five minutes from now. What is wrong with this moment? You can always cope with the Now, but you can never cope with the future-nor do you have to. The answer, the strength, the right action or the resource will be there when you need it, not before, not after. — Eckhart Tolle, from the book The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment #kindlequotes #eckhartTolle #worry #theFuture #fear #thePresent #breathing #thisMoment #theNow https://www.instagram.com/p/CleAn1Ku-jM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This moment right now!
Haven’t written in some time. No particular reason other than haven’t made it a priority and haven’t felt a strong sense to share the journey. Could be I don’t feel like sharing, don’t have much to share, or not in a phase of the journey to put things out there. Well, today’s entry is still not something I am writing. It is something I came across on social media a few weeks back.
This – this is something I felt compelled to share.
As we are on the cusp of taking our oldest back to college to start her sophomore year and your youngest is a week into her senior year in high school, my wife and I feel like many other parents in similar situations, that time just needs to slow down a bit. The last few years it has felt like time is moving much faster than a decade ago. I know……still moving at the same pace and my guess is that I need to be better at slowing my time down. What I mean by that is being present and focusing on the now.
Each particular moment we are in, and this may sound corny, but each moment we are in, there is something really magical and amazing about it. Sure, that particular circumstance may not be ideal; hell it may outright suck, but there is something to take away from it that is truly magical.
We just have to dig a little deeper sometimes to see it.
By Sahil Bloom
Now and then, break out the fancy china and drink good wine for no reason at all.
Dance at weddings until your feet are sore.
Tell your partner (and your children) you love them every night before falling asleep. Someday you’ll find the other side of the bed empty and wish you could.
Don’t fear sadness, as it tends to sit right next to love.
Treat your body like a house you have to live in for another 70 years.
Never raise your voice, except for at a ball game.
Do one good deed every single day, but never tell anyone about it.
Time doesn’t heal anything when it comes to relationships. Don’t delay difficult conversations.
Find the things that make your eyes light up. Do more of those.
Always remind yourself that your track record for making it through your bad days is perfect.
Minor issues become major issues over time. Applies equally to love, friendships, health and home.
The most damning lie you can tell is the lie you tell yourself.
No one has ever argued their way to happiness.
If you’re going to lose a fight, make sure the other person thinks twice before fighting you again.
Getting old is no picnic, but it’s much better than the alternative.
You may occasionally disappoint others, but make sure to never disappoint yourself.
Never let a good friendship atrophy. Send the text, make the call, plan the trip. Good friendships must be treasured.
When you meet someone, look them in the eye, give a firm handshake, and call them by their name.
Give everybody a second chance, but never a third.
The “good old days” are always happening right now.
Whenever you hug someone, make sure they are the one to let go first.
If it’s raining on a warm summer evening, go outside and dance in it.
Taking no risk is the biggest risk you can take. Regret from inaction is always more painful than regret from action.
It doesn’t have to be perfect to be wonderful.
When in doubt, love. We can always use more love.
Looking presentable is a matter of self-respect.
When you’re feeling down, smile at yourself for a full minute in the mirror.
Travel as much as you can. Collect one token from every trip to remember it by.
If there’s something bothering you, ask yourself whether it will matter in one month. If not, let it go right now.
Stop trying to change people that don’t want to be changed.
You may win the argument, but if you lose the friend, what was the point?
Stubborn pride is the downfall of many men and women. Learn to forget the slight hurts and avoid grudges.
Don one thing that challenges your mind every single day. A crossword puzzle, math problem, anything. Daily “exercise” will keep your mind sharp for the long haul.
Allow your kids to fail. You will hate it, but it’s so important.
There’s nothing wrong with shedding old relationships as you grow and change.
No amount of money is worth trading for your peace of mind.
If your kid wants to dance in line at the store, join them.
Smile and say good morning to strangers on the street.
Laugh loudly and unapologetically whenever you feel like it.

This Moment.
Long distance relationships are a challenge. It is a choice two people make every day. They don't let the distance get between them. Saying it was difficult was an understatement. Not being able to see you, embrace you, or even kiss you--- not even a second where our paths would cross--- it was all agonizing. For weeks on end I felt myself trudging to get out of bed or to even pry my eyes open to start the day where you are nowhere to be found. It had felt like the world won; when they got us to separate, it felt as if they had won this battle and we had no choice but to roll over backwards to their wishes.
Tonight, though, our eyes met after all those excruciating minutes gone to waste just to please everyone else.. and finally, everything felt right again. I mirrored the glint in your eyes and the broad smile plastered across your face. And it couldn't be helped.. when you reached for me, I chose to wrap my arms around you and you collected me. It was like those moments you see at the airport; couples that finally succeeded through the space between them and it was all worth it now that they were able to have each other in their arms. As one.
For tonight, for once, after days and weeks of lost.. we had salvaged a moment together and all was at peace again.
ctto of the picture.
