LIVE NOW.

Do not live for the future. This does not mean that we should live our life in a reckless manner. What this means is that tomorrow is not promised. From once we are born into this world there is an unspoken contract signed at birth. We are here for a specific amount of time physically, until our bodies deteriorate and our spirit travels elsewhere. I cannot tell you where we will go, but what I can say is the best way to prepare for our future is focusing on being our best present self. The way we live our life at this moment will determine our positioning later on. Our past serves as a guide towards our present endeavors and can teach us how to be successful and what will not make us successful. Accurate history is extremely valuable and research is a weapon against failure. You cannot know where you are going if you do not know where you are coming from. You must know the history of your own culture as well as the history of your interests. In these, lay the secrets to success, which can be patterned to pave the way for your own personal journey. If we focus on the future, we remind ourselves of the long journey we may have. This can become strenuous and discouraging. The thought of reaching a dream far away is always worst than actually physically doing it. Our mind will begin to think of ways and reasons why a dream is too farfetched, than before you know it, you will completely psych yourself out. That’s why it is imperative that we focus on the present and cherish each day as a new adventure. This way, expectations is controlled and we will avoid the need to overwhelm ourselves. The present is a reminder that we should always be grateful at all moments. As said earlier, our future is not promised and because of this we have to pay attention to the world around us now. We have to show love and respect to the world we live in and strive to be a positive force. We must set an example of being a remarkable and honorable human being. It is true that others may experience situations in life that may discourage a kind heart, but it is not our duty to judge, but to live our lives in the best way possible, hopefully showing others the right way. With hope, faith, perseverance, knowledge, wisdom and understanding the world becomes an exciting voyage. We discover the pleasure and joy in not having all the answers. We become at peace with ourselves and the things we cannot control. Do not live for the future; use your past as a reference and the present as a tool to accomplish your dreams. This was written in our hearts by the soul of the universe. Be the change you wish to see in the universe. Set the pace and become the example you wish to see. Learn to stand up for what you believe in, even if you are faced with criticism and judgment. It all comes with the territory of wanting to be a revolutionary. People will always oppose ideas that are different than what they are personally used to. It is a defense mechanism that the brain develops to protect the already instilled values, whether right or wrong. Be that 100th monkey that influences change that sets off a universal movement towards a positive direction. Do not become discouraged if your ideas or beliefs take a time for people to catch on or adjust to. True values must stand up to the test of time and sometimes our goals are accomplished at a much slower pace than we would like. So, keep pushing, keep your vision alive and execute your plan when the time is right. Perfect your vision daily, adjusting it until it the perfect vision. Be the example and promote your idea to everyone you encounter. Be passionate and sincere and people will have no choice but to tap into your consciousness. Once that happens, it becomes a domino effect. The more people you can touch, the more people will adapt to your vision and spread the gospels of your passionate dream. One attribute we all share as humans is the recognition of someone’s passion. We can feel the emotions of others and when we recognize someone’s spirit it is an innate desire to help that person achieve and accomplish. We than become a part of someone’s dream, using it as fuel towards ours as well. Our success influences people greatly, but it is our courage and persistence that really captures the hearts of people. We provide the nourishment for other people’s dreams and our triumph spirit can spark a movement that changes the world as we know. Be brave and dare to stand for something positive even if it is not understood at first. Stand the course of time, work hard and pray daily. Even if you do not believe in a higher force, prayer relaxes the mind and aligns your desires with the universe.
