Living in the ‘now’

.
In order to be fully aware of what is happening right now it is a good idea to give some thought to boundaries and limitations. It seems that in our zest for unlimited possibilities, unlimited opportunities and the expression or our unlimited potential ~ we become unwilling to limit ourselves in any way shape or form. And that is a good thing, right? Or is it?
Of course we don’t want to limit ourselves where the expression of our unique potential is concerned. We would love to make use of any and all opportunities that come our way; explore all possible avenues that are before us...

And yes, that is a good thing!

Until we reach that point where our energy runs so far and so wide that we find ourselves running into the limitations, the constraints of our time and energy. In other words, when we find that we have been ‘burning the candle on both ends’.
When we have stepped over the boundary of our Selves.

It is a boundary that we are not as used to protecting from ourselves as we are protecting it from others who may invade our privacy or even our energy. And yet in this day and age it is important to know what we are able and willing to do with our time. To be aware when we start stretching our energy too thin ~ no matter how much fun the activities we are engaged in are to us...

Only through being truly aware of who you are and where you want to apply your time and energy can you start living in that moment that is ‘now’.

Living in the ‘now’ is something that is done from within ourselves.
Living in the ‘now’ implies that we live our lives based in our values and priorities. That we do the things that are truly important to us, rather than the things that we think others are expecting of us.
This means that we need to fill our core needs and desires. That we find a point of peace, a calm point of balance within ourselves from which we can operate in the world around us. A knowing within ourselves that whatever is coming our way, we can handle it as it appears ~ without the need to worry about it ahead of time. A sense of knowing that whatever decisions we made yesterday were the perfect decisions at that time ~ without the need to keep revisiting them; doubting whether we should have done something different.

The moment we start doing these things, we may well find that we have ample energy and time to pursue unlimited opportunities in order to express our individual, unlimited potential...
