I have a different understanding of what seems to make our lives so complicated.  If we stop and plan for all kinds of things that haven’t even happened yet, we can possibly drive ourselves insane.

There are those who would beg to differ with me when they see and watch me create things that are going to unfold in the future and yet what I know is,  I have but this moment and this breath to engage only that which presents for me.  So if it’s information about something that is unfolding in the future, I engage in it and only in that moment and only in that breath.  I choose not to sit down with a  pen and paper and continue focusing on the last breath (because that breath is over).  Of course in the next breath if what is presenting is ‘future’ stuff again then I’ll engage it and not unless it comes up again.

When I say the ‘Plan is there is no plan,’ I don’t just say it, I live it.  I only engage in the moment that presents so my life truly isn’t difficult.

What is it that I’m noticing in this breath?  Wait a sec…it’s already over.  So what’s the use of getting wrapped up in it when it has already passed?  Now in the next breath, in the next moment, what am I becoming aware of?  What choice do I need to make ‘in this breath?’

When I say that I live my life moment to moment and breath to breath, I realized this weekend that others didn’t having an understanding of what I was sharing.  Is it important for me we have others understand me?  Absolutely not.  And yet, in that moment and in that breath that I was sharing information, it was indeed important.  Again…I engaged what was present for me.  Normally I don’t care if others agree, understand, support or whatever because truly form me, in a breath it won’t matter anyway.  However in the breath that I took, I found something held meaning for me that usually doesn’t and so…I engaged what presented in the moment.

As I expanded on what I said, I saw eyes open wider, heard breath deepening, I witnessed deeper connection to self.  It was magic.  What I’d like to share with you is that living in the moment, is magic.

In this moment and in this breath, what is it that I’m choosing to engage in?

Life can be insanely complicated when we’re planning for things weeks and sometimes months away.  Can you trust the knowing in your body and know that if something holds that much meaning for you that it will present again in another breath?  And when it presents, engage.  If it doesn’t, engage only what presents.

Why make up stories about what was or what will be?  It’s useless  really.  The past is over,  so is that breath.  The future hasn’t unfolded,  so you haven’t taken that breath yet.

Living in the moment and I mean truly living in the moment is a very different way to live.  Being creatures of habit we put so much wasted energy on what was and what will be that we lose track of the magnificence that the ‘moment’ has.

Live in the now and don’t worry about what was or what will be, Notice what is and engage from there. 

We can only truly live in this moment.  Not the one that was or the one that will happen, only in this one.

So in every breath I take and in that moment, I only choose to engage that which presents and maybe I’ll choose not to engage what presents….and that too is my choice and a whole different blog. 

Living in the Moment and Loving it,
