To live in the now.
Over the last year I had to deal with a lot that caused feelings of loss and depression. I realized that it was time to live in the now. The past is the past and the future is unknown. So why is it so hard to live in the now? As I think about the past, I realize that it can destroy you. Everything around you, from loved ones to friends, to let the past completely control you is so wrong. Yet its not easy to live in the now when you have so much to remind you of the past. There is an old saying: History repeats itself. Am I looking forward to the past repeating itself. I hope not. For me it would be devastating. So how can you find inner peace in the now when the past is so controlling?
