“Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?” -Luke 12:25-26

When you doubt yourself, you are stuck in the past.

When you are worried and anxious, you are stuck in the future.

Both rob you of freedom, peace and joy of the present moment as well as the depth and power of your presence.

If you spend your days living anywhere but the present moment as if you will never die, you risk dying and never having fully lived.

Here’s the secret you’ve been looking for:

Time is an illusion.

There is only the eternity of God experienced through the immensity of the present moment.

Attend to the day and live in the moment, but always aim for the highest good.

When you start living from an eternal perspective, you begin to experience time differently.

You dream in decades, yet live in moments.

Time will seem to crawl by, yet you’ll get more done in a day than you used to in a month.

Concentrate only on the day, so that you can live in the present.

Attend completely and properly to what is right in front of you, starting with your own soul.

Do that only after you have decided to let what is within shine forth, so that it can justify the brevity of life and illuminate the world.

And do that only after you have determined to sacrifice whatever it is that must be sacrificed so that you can pursue what is truly Mighty and Good.
