Staying Present

Here we are on the 4th day of the new year and I'm already knee deep in the past and the future. I believe that control gives us comfort when we live a life that isn't really in our control. The unseen struggle between the soul and the body.

I like to imagine my future and play out scenarios as if I'm playing chess. I reminisce way too often to play around with outcomes that would never change and while I'm doing this the PRESENT suffers. So how does one stay present? How does one "live in the moment"?

Consider this, have you ever thought that you don't live in the present because you don't trust yourself? Look over your life...can you see the mistakes you made? It's time to recognize your self worth.

You were created to be great. The One who created you made you to be a king, a queen, a conquerer, and so much more. That's the real journey: unbecoming who the world made you to be so you can be who you truly are. The past was yesterday, hell the past was the minutes it took you to read this. The future is tomorrow but the present is right here, right now.

So stay present and trust yourself.
