Laughter is so incredibly therapeutic. Being able to apply laughter in times of boredom, heartache, challenging times and frightening ones, brings light and life to each situation. It shatters through tense energy and allows breaths of fresh air to enter you as you let loose in joy, even if for a moment.
You only have this moment to make a new choice. No matter if you screamed at your children or your partner 5 minutes ago, right now you can choose to take a deep breath instead. No matter if you made a mistake at work, you can choose now to fix it and create a new ending.
Some days it’s like that, isn’t it? You have no idea how you are still managing, but somehow you do. Do you feel like you’re hanging by your fingernails, by a thread, by the skin of your teeth, etc.? It’s usually right at your most absolute, most desperate, weakest moment that things suddenly change. Hang on.
This quote might also seem a little backwards, but be open to the idea for a moment. Sometimes what we resist persists and if we avoid our pain it will just follow us everywhere. If you’re going through a hard time right now then lean into it and feel the pain so you can process through it, and move on.
Now is the time. We don’t know if tomorrow will come for us. Do you want to leave the world with regrets? What are you putting off that you can accomplish? Get off the bench and get into the game. Your number just got called.
If you are afraid of falling, you will never get to great heights. Stop making excuses. Stop waiting for that perfect moment, that golden opportunity. Those moments do not come. You make them happen.
This is a great way to look into the future and pull your current self towards what you want to be. What most people do instead is look at the past and beat themselves up over all of the things they’ve done. That just keeps you stuck in the past, or rather stuck in the moment because you’re not using the present to make for a brighter future. By using this future focused vision, and then starting today to do the things necessary to get you where you’re going, you’ll get there much more quickly.
The past is only in your head, and the future isn’t here yet, so there’s only one moment that truly matters, and that’s the present moment. No matter what time it is it’s always now, and you have to do the best you can with your now moment because you’ll never get anything else. She’s saying that if you do the best in the now it’s all you’ll ever need because everything else will work itself out. Breath in. Breath out. Go make magic!
Some people work hard but have no talent and other people have talent but do not work hard. These are both sad situations, but the person who realizes their talent and doesn’t work to maximize it is a very sad and discouraging sight.
This seems to contradict the whole living in the moment thing. It’s the exact opposite. Every moment is incredibly important. You must be mindful and maintain positive energy in all encounters. Each step you take can take you farther on the path. Each misstep can get you off course.
