When I am able to make the most of a moment; when I am there and aware enough to see what's going on and participate fully; when I am able to engage in the conversation or activity with abandon - then I am present in the present.
But as long as I am thinking of something in the past that happened or a future event, I rob myself of being present in the present. Many times, this is because I am either beating myself up for a perceived failure (past) or worrying about something that has yet to even happen (future.) Whatever the reason, I'm not present in the present.
But being present in the present is where the joy is. It's where life is really lived. I really hope I can cultivate this habit of being present in the present. I don't want to go through life while being robbed of life at the same time.
Be present in the present and Serve Strong!
