today is a gift, that's why its called the present.
Scorpio (10/23-11/21)
Deal with the people, places and things that are in your present today -- get your head out of the future. You don't know what it will look like, so why waste your time thinking about it? Right now, right here, someone wants to make a deeper connection with you -- but they've been having a hard time getting your attention long enough to make any progress! Do them a favor and slow down today -- talk to them and let the conversation go on to a deeper level.
Living in the present moment has got to be one of the major things i struggle with. Whether I'm worrying about the future or dwelling on the past, my mind is rarely set on enjoying the present without thinking about the past or future. For me i feel like i need to let go of the past because certain moments of situations have changed my perspective and in a way made me more hesitant to trust people and more bitter about the world. But why make someone pay for another's mistakes? Why miss out on new experiences because past one's didn't end up so well? every day is a clean slate giving us all a chance to do things different, better even. and thank God for that.
As far as worrying about the future, im constantly on my toes about the future; all aspects of it and in all variations of the term future. Whether its what im gonna eat for dinner or where im gonna go to grad school. My ongoing contemplating of the future and need to have a specific itinerary of how my future is gonna pan out can get exhausting. Ive realized that i crave the feeling of being in control, id even go as far as saying that i need to be in control in certain situations. Fortunately i often catch myself in these situations and all i need is a reminder that i need to let go and let things happen naturally. Why worry about what's gonna happen in the future? if the present is wonderful.. then thats all that really matters.
