Right Now Is Someday

In my life's journey I have often found myself planning, plotting, worrying, expecting, you name it, for events that will take place in the future. I think this is a pretty common condition for people and something that can be both healthy and at times unhealthy depending on how strong the influence of these items is on a person. Really I believe that many of these things are simply distractions that inhibit us from experiencing the present moment for what it is. I think that living with intention comes down to living with the intention to pack as much joy, pleasure, and positive energy as you can in this moment. That doesn't mean that we can neglect the responsibilities that a life holds and preparing things to go as we hope they will, but I do think the door is open to back off the ledge a bit and embrace the here and now. I have found that for me the more I can stay connected with this line of thinking the more I am able to begin to slow the stream in my mind down and focus on the right now and making the most of the moment.
