You've heard the saying, "In times of trouble, the past belongs to the past." But what do YOU do with the past? How do you let it go and move forward? Do you live in the future or the past? Unfortunately there are many people who are consumed by the past. They live for their past and what they've done or not done, in the past.
The question is do you really want to be a part of this? If you don't you will never really be able to focus on the moment. When you are living for your past, you have no idea how to live for the future. You'll end up always being stuck in a rut.
On the other hand if you do have this kind of mindset, then you're not going to enjoy any moment. If you do enjoy any moment then you'll live for it and laugh at the mistakes you've made. When you are in a moment, you are free to look at new opportunities that may come your way. Because you are not focused on the past, you are bound to miss them out.
You have to learn how to be in a moment. This means you have to learn to do things in a moment. You can't do things in a second or even a minute. It's impossible. You have to focus on the moment. So many people go through life not being able to do this.
The reason they get stuck is that they'll try to do too much and make a lot of plans. They'll have a lot of interests and they'll be thinking about their future all the time. These are all great but they can distract you from living in the present. If you want to live your life fully then you have to focus on the moment.
To do this you have to write down some goals for today. Focus on those goals. Don't worry about what they sound like. Just focus on what you are going to do today. At the end of the day you will be so excited because you took the time to write it down. That means you took action.
When you get those goals written down, focus on exactly how long it is going to take you to accomplish them. Don't let the deadline pressure you. Think about the amount of work you have and the amount of time you have to get it done. Then write that down. Once you have that written down, you'll know exactly how long you have to get it done.
Now once you are focusing on the moment, you don't have to wait for something to happen. You have to realize that the best things in life happen when you aren't thinking about them. The only way to accomplish anything in your life is by taking actions. As long as you don't procrastinate, you are going to accomplish whatever you set out to do. Focus on the moment and it will seem like less time has passed.
Also, if you have an appointment, it is going to be easier to stay focused on the issue at hand. Most people tend to get distracted by what is going on around them. They may even start second guessing themselves. If you have an appointment with someone, it would be easier to stay focused if you were already focused on what you needed to get done. This way you will also avoid any distractions that might interrupt you from getting your work done. Keep your attention where it needs to be and you will see results soon.
Another thing to keep in mind while you are focusing on the moment is that you need to make sure you don't leave anything for later. If you are going to be in an appointment, you may need to leave a bit of time before you go. However, don't ever leave something unfinished. Whether it is going to a job interview or another activity, you want to make sure you keep it simple.
You'll also find that you'll need to evaluate how you are feeling after a certain amount of time has passed. In some cases you will be more emotionally involved with whatever it was that you were working on. This means you'll need to evaluate how you feel about the outcome. If you think that you're going to be happy with the results of your work, you'll need to continue with it and work to keep that happy feeling.
It is important to focus on the moment and you'll find that it can help you achieve many things. In fact, many people say that they are more productive when they are able to focus their attention. Of course, you want to make sure that you aren't focusing on what is most important and then giving up on the rest. You should always balance work with play. Remember to focus on what you are going to do and then let the rest happen later.
