Love the Life You Have Right NOW!
In today’s hectic environment both at work and in your personal life, it is important to place a focus on loving who you are and the life you have right now. Much of the time we are looking for that next “thing” whatever it might be and we forget about the amazing things we have in our lives right now.
So many of us hang on to the past and don’t let go. We especially hang on to negative thoughts around those who have hurt us in some way. I have recently seen this with friends who have gone through divorce. They are so focused on the hurt and pain that has been caused by someone they used to love. They continue to dwell on that pain and sometimes anger and it eats away at their confidence and self-esteem. This can also been seen in individuals who have recently been laid off from a company. These individuals feel the pain of having given to a company only to receive the “pink” slip. Many times, “work” defined who that person was and now that “work” or the “job” is gone, they are angry.
The real truth is that anger only hurts one person and that is YOU. Let go of the past. I like the comment that Wayne Dyer makes where he asks, “what powers the speed boat to go forward? Is it the wake (the past) or is the the engine (the now)?” You can make the choice to live your life in the past and focus on the wrongs or you can live in this present moment and love the life you have. If you choose NOW, you will see positive things emerge in your life each and every day. Give it a try!
