Have you ever felt so overwhelmed that it seemed too impossible for anything in your life to pan out?
You try, try, try so hard yet nothing comes together and you wonder if anything is possible. With all your good intentions, shouldn't life and business be so much easier, especially with all the advantages of our modern age? Seriously, what is the big problem? Moreover, what is specifically in the way that is blocking you from making it all work? You might be surprised by the answer.
Business success (or failure) isn't a modern phenomenon. 5000 years ago businesses were flourishing with markets selling everything from local fish to foreign spices including all types of services. There were poor people and rich people, just like we see today. There were hard times and good times, just like we see today. There were people with positive attitudes and people with negative attitudes, just like today.
Nothing fundamental has changed. The same elements of life are still here, alive and well as usual. But let's face it - the world today is a thousand times more complex. It is becoming important today to be a bit more detached from life, to not rely so much on circumstances but rather rely more on yourself as a good human being. It's a big world. You cannot change the world. You can only change yourself. All along, there is only one thing in existence that never changes, never disappears, and can always be counted on no matter what happens. What is it?
The Present Moment
You might suddenly be asking yourself, okay great. So what? Big deal: The present moment, what is the point: How can something so common and obvious have anything to do with me, my success in life, or my business?
The Present Moment is Where Everything Happens
How much time do you waste thinking about the past or worrying about the future? More importantly, how much energy do you waste reacting to things that are completely out of your power and control? The truth is if you connect with the present moment (rather than abandoning it, frittering it away with meaningless worries and inconsequential reactions to problems and circumstances) everything will start to take shape in a much more realistic and clear way. How so, you ask?
Do you realize that the present moment is the most powerful reality in the entire universe? Think about it. Everything that happens, whether 500 billion light years away or 10 minutes from now, all happens in the present moment. The present moment is timeless. In fact, time - as huge as we feel it, as huge as it is - is no bigger than a grain of sand compared to the present moment.
So what does this all have to do with you and your business and your life success?
Your existence IS the present moment . . . YOU are NOW. Everything else is something that is merely happening, an event with a beginning and an end. Connect with the Here and Now. You can easily begin doing this by paying close attention to your 5 senses. When you purposely connect with any of your senses, even for 2 seconds, you automatically connect with reality. When you connect with reality, all other delusions of the mind immediately begin to STOP.
The present moment will relieve you of all your useless ills and pains: It will also give you the clarity and much needed tolerance to excel in your business. The bottom line? Take time for YOURSELF. Even to just feel your toes on the floor and to hear the sound of your breath. It will pay beautiful dividends for you, sooner than you think. Be good to yourself. You deserve it!
The saying: "Stop and Smell the Roses" may very well be the biggest understatement ever conceived!
