HOW TO BE MORE MINDFUL | HOW TO LEARN FROM THE PAST, LIVE IN THE PRESENT AND BE READY FOR THE FUTURE
Our life is divided into three: past, present and future. They all play an important role in our success, and failure. Knowing the secrets of their functions, one can accomplish more than we may think… It seems quite simple to name our yesterday, today and tomorrow. However, these three periods work for or against us depending on our attitude towards them. According to time, people are divided into three groups:
People who are living in the Past.
People, who live in the Present.
People, who live in the future.
How can you know if you live in the past or future? In order to answer this question you should learn yourself investigating the following aspects:
Do you often or sometimes recall something unpleasant or the time when you weren`t lucky?
Do you blame your parents or loved ones because they didn`t treat you as you wished?
Does your anger last long if you get annoyed with someone or something?
Do you always tell your loved people or friends that they were wrong sometime before?
Is it difficult for you to forgive someone or something if they offend you?
If you affirm that abovementioned statements are about you, it means that you live in the Past. It`s not about the time, it`s about the state of your mind. Your body exists here, in the Present, but your whole mind is full of memories from the Past, which either please or annoy you. Do you think that it is normal? I suppose when you remember something unpleasant for you, then you may insult yourself. So, no matter how long you will live, you will remain in your past with your memories.
The second group of people prefer to live now and here. Unfortunately, there are only few people, who can concentrate on the current events. People, who see nothing, but their coming success and live expecting their lives to change for better, belong to the third group. They always hope that their circumstances, lives will change some day. Nevertheless, that day won`t come as they become too busy dreaming that they don`t even try to materialize their dreams.
It`s not so difficult to distinguish the signs, which may prove that you live with you future expectations:
Do you always or sometimes delay what you should do now?
Do you spend more time daydreaming?
Do you arrange what you are supposed to do beforehand?
Do you always remember your arrangements?
Before curing an illness, we should diagnose it. Our past mustn`t affect our today. Our future mustn`t remain in future in dreams only. As for me, there is neither past, nor future. There exists only the Present, which turn into our past by time. “A minute is a short piece of life. The quality of your life is measured by the sum of the qualities of its minutes.” To conclude is up to you. However, I can give you some tips to live your present in a perfect way.
Make conclusions from your Past`s lessons!
Always arrange your deals in advance!
Never delay what you can do today!
Try to live every second of life fully so that you`ll be satisfied with it!
