In the many lives you may have lived there is no more powerful experience than the one you are now. The power 'now' is beyond imagination and it is forever a concept that eludes those with closed minds and myoptic vision while serving as a fulcrum to success and abundance in areas not easily achieved.

Expereince creates thoughts resulting in emotions and thus manifesting  actions or inactions based on your belief systems. Whether you do or don't do something it is part of your principles driving you, your beliefs empowering or dis-empowering you, and your habits showing you. Give me 5-10 minutes with someone who is completely honest with me and I can determine where they are headed in life and what their life is like in the now.

How does one live in the 'now'? Let go. What good does it serve to dwell in the past since you can't change the past! What good is it to live in fear of the future since it hasn't happened yet? Let go, its alright to feel the fear and tripedation and anxiety .. everyone does.

What is not okay if you want to move ahead with your life is to allow irrational thoughts and beliefs to control your life, your actions and your destiny.

Want to live in the now? Get over whatever it is holding you back and defy the odds by taking a big step forward and don't let the opinions of others be your compass. Wayne Dyer summed it up by saying to give into the opinions of others with 1,000 people in his audience would be an obsurd practice and would result in failure. Live by your own now, discover your true north, design your own destiny as you discover it deep within, and be your own voice.

This may be a bit of a challenge although you will see how easy the answers come when you let go. I saw a driver at a stop sign, the driver behind them honked and they shot out of the intersection just missing an oncoming vehicle by several feet. Last week I saw a share some put out to a group and it had some valuable information and would without doubt help others breakthough their limiting beliefs. And you know it.. as life happens so do skeptics, those with tunnel vision, and people who don't like to see people being happier than they or worse want others to share in their misery.

Know anyone who enjoys company for their misery? The now only allows the creator of the now entry. Leave the door unlocked and unattended to your 'now' and you invite the dreggs of the world in as well. It takes some work to know how to recognize who you give that much power to in allowing them in your now.. practice makes perfect, and with practice comes hard lessons. How do you avoid these lessons? You can't so, learn to let go, create another 'now', and move on ;)

I have to say that it burns me to see people flaming on others when they don't even know them personally and knocking something they have not even tried themselves. When you allow yourself to be in the now you are insulated from the toxic beliefs of others. But we are all human and automatically react to circumstances we may not be subjected to on a daily basis.

One way to protect and live within the power of your own now is to own it! That is right own your now, don't let others take it from you, drag you into their negative energy. Know what an energy vampire is? They will find you and suck the life right out of you and everything you do. Once you give up your now to someone who seeks to control your emotions and actions you lose yourself to someone else's inner world. Unless it is a great place for you to visit, it may a place to stay away from.

Note the story of the Penguin. They live in the now.. venturing hundreds of miles inland to nest in sub zero degree weather, nesting on an egg for months in cold that could kill you in seconds, parents leaving each other for months at a time to venture back out over hundreds of miles to feed then return to feed or nest on the egg, and then saying good bye to the fledgling penguins as both parents depart to return to the ocean leaving the offspring to find and make their own way. The parents live only in the now. Without the now there is no tomorrow, and if they relived yesterday there would be no tomorrow since now would not exist. It is an odd metaphor for life but as you allow the life of a penguin penetrate your realm of awareness you will understand nothing is important except what is in the moment - now.. nothing else matters.

Empower your life now and engage all that is great. Do more, be more, and most of all be in the now.. not in other peoples minutia, commentary and anger.

Namaste~
