The Beginning Is This Moment

2018 has arrived. 

Like most of you, I tend to reflect on the past year and imagine how I'd like this year to be. Reflection is good. Planning is good. However, both distract you from being present. That approach to living may seem simple to some and impractical to others. The truth is, the current moment you find yourself in, is the only one you can affect. 

Instead of giving energy to what has happened or to what could be, give all of your attention, love, gratitude, skills and talents to the present. Ground yourself in the now. Recognize the potential available right here, right now. 

Not yesterday. Not tomorrow. Only today.
