Re: Excellent information...

i wondered what the future meant, as far as circumstances, and then of course i realized that all of the future is not reality. it's what we perceive as the outcome if we do this or that in the present. then i thought, since the future does not exist, then what is the past? and i knew the past was fantasy also. and both pointed me to the present. or the now.
the now is the result of past actions that have been done, and the future is the result of the now's actions. i hate to belabor this, but this revelation was incredibly simple but incredibly interesting. it seems as if the past is battling the future. but the battle must be in our minds, because we only exist in the now. so our future is now. the past is only for making informed decisions in the now. you are right to tell people to live in the now, because that is reality. thank you for reminding me of this valuable point. we are addicted to our thoughts, but we can be free, like rich said, by choosing different thoughts to think in the now. like a broken steering wheel, we have to bring our veering car back onto the road until we get to where we are going, no matter how far off the road our minds go. i can see how setting these goals are important, as they will create a direction to strive for.
