We’ve all heard it … “Live in the Now”. Why though? Why is it important for us to live right where we are? 
Some people simply live in the past.
Everything they do is based on what happened before. From your present state of awareness, you cannot change what happened before, you cannot re-live what you lived before. What once was, will never be again, not in the exact same way you remember it at least. Even if all the external factors and people were exactly the same, you are different than you were before. Your perspectives are different, you have more and different knowledge. The past will not EVER come back the way you remember it; EVER (good or bad). You may be able to create something similar, but it won’t be the same, so there is no sense in living “back there”. You need to live in the now and feel good now; then you can create in your NOW. You may create similar good (or bad) feelings as before, but things won’t be exactly the same…so think about being okay now.
As for the future, you are creating it as you go along. There are so many variables, so many things that could happen. Most of what you experience is based on your perception of it anyway, so there is no sense in looking forward and projecting onto your future in any way except to dream of positive things. Even if you are dreaming of a positive future though, you still need to LIVE now. Otherwise you aren’t really living at all.
Why worry about what the future may hold?
You may be rich, you may be poor, you may be in a relationship or single, but it will not make one bit of difference. If you do not have the ability to live in your “NOW moment”, you won’t enjoy it later anyway. If you are rich later, you will worry about what the future will hold, and you will not enjoy your riches. If you are alone later, you will just live in the past thinking about when you had someone. There will be no more enjoyment in your “future” than there is in your “Now” because at some point your FUTURE will BE your NOW, and if you have not yet learned to enjoy your now, you will not ever enjoy any future you may have.
No matter where you are on your timeline or on your way to your goals IT IS ALWAYS NOW.

Thank you for this reminder. It is so important to remember to just live in today, which is the only time we have anyway.
I love this post Tamara! Dwelling on the past creates disappointment, and worrying about the future creates stress, so the best thing we can do is just live on the NOW. That’s the only thing we can control.
