Always Look Forward

Have you ever had one of those moments when life seems to stop completely and allow you that one look at everything you've been needing? It's like everything is frozen and you can glance over ALL the details of everything you've put into motion, and everything you've chosen to interact with. I feel that right now.

It was a brief moment, a glimpse, but it felt like hours. I could see forward and I realized that my problems are from looking back. You should never forget the past, or you risk making the same mistakes. But to brood on the past? To only involve yourself in the past? This is a path towards frustration, anger, dark emotions. Because when you involve your world in a time frame where you cannot adjust anything... you can only experience the most powerful parts of that moment.

1. If I look at the past, I can see the bad and the good, but I can't change either.


2. If I look at the present, I can adjust now to avoid the bad, and make the good.


3. If I look at the present, I can plan for the good and bad, but only the present provides me with a means of making them so.

It's like a weird melding of Now and Soon.
I have to learn from the past, plan for the future, but live in the present.

I feel this weird relief. Completely washed over me. Took away the bad, the anxiety, the negativity... my future has always been mine. My present has been sacrificed to a past I didn't know how to change. My past is my past. I can be who I need and want to be, I just have to be willing to make the moments between now and soon into that path.

Peace is flowing through me... I see where I'm going and I am happy for it.
I am making steps towards that goal daily.
When I am not on a step, that moment is free for whatever I may need.

cool.
