Instant Change

Picture yourself, as many of us do, travelling down the road on your way to work. It is a routine day, nothing out of the ordinary. Suddenly a car swerves out in front of you. This vehicle is completely out of control and slams into another vehicle--head on at highway speeds. The collision is horrendous and life altering. Death for at least one of these individuals is a high possibility. Lives are changed in the blink of an eye. There is no warning. There is no time to prepare.

There are events in our lives when the unthinkable shatters life as we know it and steals the calm, serene atmosphere that we are so accustomed to. What will our life be like after an cataclysmic event occurs? Fortunately for most of us, this experience will never happen.

Have a look at your day and your worry of a potential trauma. There are some, actually many individuals, who spend time worrying about what “might be”. They create potential outcomes and events that will probably never materialize, yet countless hours are wasted thinking about remote possibilities.

There are those of us who spend our day mentally scheduling what lies ahead regardless of time frame. We anticipate potential worrisome events during holidays, complain about our working environment, worry about funds to repair the house or car and the list goes on and on, when in fact all we have is today. This current moment is your only guarantee.

If this accident were to occur in front of you would it wake you to how precious life truly is? Why is worry part of our day? How does it help us move forward and help us to achieve living in the moment? The moment is all that we have!

Stop thinking about possible outcomes and potential shortfalls as in many cases these things never materialize. Why spend your life living in a “potential outcome”. The past is only a memory and a lesson learned. The future is unknown. There is nothing wrong with working towards your future, but do this with the understanding that all that matters is this moment.

If you learn to focus in the moment, you hold on to time and experience each and every second. This is part of the awareness or the awakening process. We need to be here now and as the accident testifies, we are fragile beings. Is this not all the more reason to let your worries float away and enjoy the perfection this day holds?

Live your life as though each breath is a blessing and a new beginning because they are and it is. Be filled with wonder and fully awake in the ever present now. Let go of imaginable conclusions. You have this life to live; live it in the present.
