Every day we wake up with plans and dreams. And every day they remain incomplete. Our imaginations create those realities of the future that feel too far off and at times out of reach. Yet the truth is that anything that we can imagine is a possibility and exists in a dimension that we can choose to connect to. To this statement let us try a little exercise.

Close your eyes and imagine you are 30 years into the future. Still doing what you are doing now. Long hours in a job that you hate. Grinding to make ends meet. Feeling guilty of all the things that you wanted to say in a lost relationship. Under the burden of ill health having not exercised and been distracted for decades. Now imagine you asked the universe, God, Source to grant you just one chance to redo your whole life. Fix that relationship, get healthy, chase that dream of enterprise, make a difference in your life and that of others.

Now open your eyes. Your wish has been granted. Your chance is now. Not tomorrow, not yesterday. NOW. Take it. Its yours. To do anything that you have always wanted. To become anything that you have wanted to be. To open your heart freely and love unconditionally.

There are still days that will come and you may feel frustrated at your existing life. That is natural. The ebbs and flows of life like winding roads with bumps along the way. These are times when it is wise to remember that the old version of you 30 years ago desperately wished and prayed for who you would become now, in this present moment.

There are those who daily pray to be able to eat a solid meal in safety. Drink clean water if not even bathe in non infected or muddy rivers. More die not just in starvation but from preventable disease, without clothes to keep them warm. Yet we complain of the fitting of the clothes we wear, or the container in which we carry our water to the gym, or the taste of the food that we consume abundantly with backed finances.

You see we dream for better futures, and we complain of our present. Yet in the past we complained of our then present and expected better futures, and when we arrived to the “future” it was our present and we were not happy again. The mind is in a constant game with itself. Disguised attachments with itself as thoughts the mind is forever in a state of connecting to rising and falling thoughts, much like leaves floating on a flowing river. If we attach ourselves to any one thought or pick up a leaf or two or three etc, we do not stay present enough to witness the moment of now. The future is not here, the past is already gone, yet all is happening in the present.

The lesson is to observe the flow, and not be a part of it and still hold all parts of the timeline in our consciousness. It is here, in the moment of now that we experience the essence of love. As witnesses of the universe unfolding and folding in each moment. When we pick a particular thought or choose a leaf we continue on that track and become what we choose.

So pick wisely, and become that which you truly choose to become.

I love you
