We are living now the paradox of happiness. We have almost all the things we wished for and we thought will make us happy. Yet, the reality is that the majority of people are more unsatisfied with life than ever before.
How is that possible?
That's happening because we are sleepwalking. We are continually daydreaming, either about the future, either about the past. For some strange reason, the present moment seems to be lost out of our thoughts.
Did you notice how much time people spend with worrying? As if, worrying makes you somehow stronger.
Listen, keeping your mind occupied into agonizing thoughts, doesn't put you in a better place; it doesn't power up your control over things. On the contrary, it takes your power to be resilient.
Living life in the present moment, in fact, makes you stronger. Taking things one at a time (step by step) ensures that you're never overwhelmed.
Multitasking is an “activity” that blows your mind (in the negative sense) scattering your ideas and thoughts all over the place, but really in the present moment.
Did you know that when one of your friends is suffering, the most helpful things you could do is to be present? Sometimes with no words, just being there in silence.
If you know that your mere presence it's so beneficial for others, imagine how helpful could be if your best friend (which should be you) is always there with you… even in silence.
Stay in the present moment because this is the only time you have control over.
Far too much time we spend asking ourselves wrong questions; like in Snow White “mirror, mirror on the wall who's the prettiest of them all?” The relevant question could be “mirror, mirror on the wall who's more present of them all?” because if you're not present in your life, who is? Who's taking care of your “now”?
