The PRESENT

3 wAys tO uSe YoUr PRESENT mOMenT:

* Be in the present
When you want to be happy and successful, focus on what is right now. Use your purpose to respond to what is important now.

** Learn from the past
When you want to make the present better than the past, look at what happened in the past. Learn something valuable from it. Do things differently in the PRESENT.

*** Plan for the future
When you want to make the future better than the present, see what a wonderful future would look like. Make plans to help it happen. Put your plan into action in the PRESENT.


Even in the most difficult situations
When you focus on what is right in the present moment,
It makes you happier,
And gives you the needed energy and confidence to deal with what is wrong.

Anytime you are unhappy in the present
Or feeling unsuccessful,
It is time to learn from the past
Or plan for the future.

Look at what happened in the past.
Learn something valuable from it.
Use what you learn to improve the present.

You cannot change the past,
But you can learn from it.
When the same situation arises,
You can do things diffently
And enjoy a more successful present.

No one can predict or control the future,
However, the more you plan for what you want to see happen,
The less anxious you are in the present,
and the more the future is known to you.
