The events that happened in the past are irrelevant, because as long as you are still living, you can change your life. All you really have is the present. The present is a gift.
Use the gift of the present to change your life. While it is normal to reflect on past events, and prepare for the future, it is unhealthy to never live in the present moment.
You are surrounded by change and it is the one thing that has the most dramatic impact on your life. Change has the ability to catch up with you at some point in your life.
There is no avoiding it because it will find you, challenge you, and force you to reconsider how you live your life.
Change comes into your life as a result of a crisis, as a result of choice or by chance. In either situation you are faced with having to make a choice.
It is your power of choice that enables you to activate positive change in your life. Acting on your power of choice provides you with more opportunity to change your life for the better.
The more opportunities you create to change your life the more fulfilled and happier your life becomes.
We can not escape suffering. We must face the consequences of our actions with courage. If we want to make our futures better, then we need to do so in the present moment.
