Thought for the day...

Living for the now... its not a new concept. It is something that mindset coaches talk about in order to help you get over the past and start anew.

I was reading an article about how the past is gone, old and stale and the future is always waiting. It reminded me of a Stephen King story and movie called The Langoliers. In the movie, the passengers on a plane went through a time rip, and those who were asleep didn't pass into the next moment. Instead they stayed behind, only a few seconds, but they were in the past. Nothing was as bright as it should be, nothing tasted as good, nothing was "right." The basis of the movie was simple, they struggled to get back to "now" while the "Langoliers" came to clean up and remove the past. Staying in the past was deadly, as the "Langoliers" destroyed everything in their path.

Placing that in perspective - we are all being followed by "Langoliers" who come and clean up the past. They follow right behind us, keeping us in the moment. It is only our mind that lets us relive the past, for once a moment has passed it is gone forever. Don't let your memories of what was rule your now. Or you may face the "Langoliers" yourself one day.

The past and the future exist only in your mind. Take a moment and relish TODAY, for it soon will be gone as well.
