I am sometimes so guilty of wanting any other moment or situation than the one I currently have. The more I seem to resist the moment, the more I stay stuck and go deeper into the "mess." It is like being in quicksand, fighting against what is and tossing and turning trying to pull myself out. We all know what that gets us in the end. So, I continually try to practice being in the present moment and acknowledging it as the perfect moment. Sometimes this is easier to do than other times. I knew when I created the ten commandments that I would have to include this concept. Not living in the present moment and looking for some other moment can kill our spirits and our relationships. I am just beginning to really unravel what Tolle and others are trying to reveal to us about this concept. Here is something to ponder as you go about your day. Here is commandment number five.
5. Live in the present moment
- This is the only moment you have.
- Most of us live today as if it were yesterday.
- You know you are living in the present moment if the present moment is fine just the way it is.
- If you are complaining, whining, criticizing, or judging – you are probably not in the present moment. You want something else.
