I get excited everytime I think about the future God has planned for me. I get even more excited when I think about my life TODAY, right here and now!! Sometimes when it feels as if life is moving by so quickly, it can be easy to to fall into this mode where we focus on the future and forget about the NOW!
Focusing on NOW can be hard because NOW can be filled with heartbreak, sadness, confusion, disappointment, rejection, and all of the other emotions that can disrupt your thoughts. Some may ask, how can you be grateful for a NOW that feels like that? All I can say in response is that it takes work! I received this mantra from one of my favorite writers, Louise Hay, that I use to help me through these difficult times. It says: All is well. All is well. Everything is working out for my highest good. Out of this situation only good can come. And I am safe!
I love this mantra and I use it regularly at home and at work. It puts the NOW into perspective. It encourages surrender to God. And it reassures.
I am excited about my future and I visualize it often but I don't discount the present because the lessons I learn now will help shape my tomorrow.
No need to wait. Life is now. Enjoy, in joy. -Ralph Marstons
