Stop longing for something better to happen, to have more than you own or to be someone else, somewhere else.

There is never a perfect time for you to take action. There is never a perfect time for you to launch that project, to spend time with your family, to write a book, change your habit, or embrace a new habit.

Your mind is constantly trying to take you some place else, trying to take you to somewhere better, a place you have succesfully convinced yourself will make everything worthwhile.

A place where you feel content and fully realise your purpose and place in the World.

A World that is consistently offering you the next best thing. How can you possibly pay attention to the now when you can not wait for the future to arrive.

Because it will be better, it will be bigger, faster, more efficient, more effective, more fulfilling and … perfect, somehow.

The more you own and achieve the bigger the discontentment grows as the gap becomes impossible to fill.

You become unhappier and more stressed, more self-centered and judgemental, more anxious and sleepless, more disenchanted with the World.

This impacts negatively on your relationships with others, and on your ability to connect with the true nature of things.

This perpetual cycle of desiring to get to some moment other than the one that is in your presence is causing you mental suffering.

You live in the realm of your imagination, a delusion reliant on the prospect that your happiness is just one more purchase, one more action or goal away.

Every moment is part of the interdependent transience of life. Mother Nature does not use a clock. There is no right time, only a sequence of perfect moments that form your existence.

And they can be nothing more than moments, because you only ever exists at any given time.

Every moment you wish away, ignore or dismiss as not good enough, you will never get back.

Conversely, every moment is yours to seize and to appreciate, to love yourself, others and this amazing World.

Do not ignore the potential for unconditional joy and fulfilment that can be found in your life right this moment.

The way you engage with this moment will have a direct effect on the next, subsequently affecting the level of opportunity and prosperity that opens up in your life.

There is no perfect moment to come. There will never be a more perfect moment that this one. Because this moment is absolutely as it is supposed to be.
