There Is No Place and Time Like Now

Many people in our culture today are busy running around trying to arrange our lives to be somewhere else.

We all want to be somewhere else geographically or financially or in our relationships.
And on top of this many people also live by the 'some day' rule. 'I can do it, ... but just not today. I'll do it when …' are some of the excuses used to stay in our comfort zones.

The problem is that both someday and somewhere are undefined and illusionary.

The Time and Place
Somewhere doesn't exist and someday never comes, although you keep hoping it does. This
can be very disempowering and is responsible for a lot of disappointment and frustration for a lot of people.

The truth, however, is that right now is all you've really got. Tomorrow is never promised to you and learning to fully live in and for the moment is a vital distinction to make in creating a great life.

To Be Grateful
Being grateful does not mean that you loose your drive or purpose, but allows you to slow down and really enjoy the ride. Not only is it healthy to want more from life, but it's also required to be truly fulfilled and knowing where you are is critical in getting where you want to be.

Using someday as an excuse to soften your problems won't create long term success and fulfilment.

Be honest with yourself. A little pain can be very useful as it can be used to move you to action. There's always something you can do right now to turn your ideas into reality. There is always one small step you can take.


To Take Action

One of the most powerful resources you have is resourcefulness. This means that right now you have all you need to achieve whatever you desire and that you have the ability to take action with exactly what you've got and exactly where you are.

You don't have to wait for 'some day when' or 'when I am ...' before you take action on your dreams and goals.

The smallest idea acted upon can make all the difference as it immediately makes your idea real and smothers someday because you used your will to consciously take charge.


To Pursue Your Dreams and Goals

It's important to realize that the purpose of pursuing a goal or a dream is not just in achieving it but even more so in the experience of achieving it.

You don't travel for the purpose of reaching a destination but for the purpose of travelling. Whatever dream or goal you're pursuing you'll probably spend more time in pursuit of it than actually achieving it and most goals are an anti climax when you actually achieve them anyway ... unless ofco
urse you set another goal and start pursuing that!

Remember: The process is where the true fulfilment comes from and the actual experience is what makes you become something instead of accumulating something. If you can't be happy and grateful without your goal then changes are that you won't be happy and grateful with it.


Love life and live it creatively and on purpose!
