This Powerful Moment

There is enormous power in this moment. The more fully you experience what is here right now, the more that power is available to you.

Are you angry or bitter, disappointed or resentful about what has happened in the past? Then much of the power of this moment will be out of your reach.

Are you anxious and worried about something that may or may not happen in the future? Then you will miss out on the opportunity to create real and lasting value from this powerful moment you are in.

Imagine that everything you are, everything you know, everything you care about, is focused into this very moment. And feel the enormous power of what you can, right here and now, do with it all.

Rise above the murky fog of what could have been and what someday might or might not come to pass. Focus the whole of your being on what is, and on the overflowing abundant opportunities this moment presents to you.

There is great and wonderful power in this very moment, in who you are, in where you are right now. See it, be it, and let yourself live it fully.

-- Ralph Marston

A valuable lesson I learned from Morning Glory (I sure miss her) is that when we spend our time and energy and thoughts living in the past or fearing the future, we lose all the beauty that is in today.

Just for today, I will embrace who I am, where I am and all that brought me here, and my thoughts of tomorrow will only be faith that it will take me where I am being led.

Hugs
Ann
