One thing that I have really discovered about myself within the past year is that I am way too focused on the future. I often find myself planning my future down to the last detail, and daydreaming.
But let me tell you something. This does not get you anywhere. I realized that I was legitimately spending my life just thinking about a life I dreamed of and planning my future in my mind. However, I soon came to realize that life is happening right now. I am living a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing life now, and if I keep daydreaming excessively I will be living more in my fantasy than in my reality. Though this may sound great, reality is truly wonderful.
I soon began to realize, 'oh dang, I must stop daydreaming'. So that is what I did. I prayed, and I worked hard to stop my daydreaming tendencies. Now I have severely cut down the amount of time I spend daydreaming. Sure, I still do daydream from time to time, but I realize now that life is beautiful right now, and that I really need to appreciate this, and live my life in the moment more.
If you relate to this post, and realize that you might be daydreaming excessively, here are some tips to appreciate life right now, and to love the life you have right now.
Tip #1 Stop And Look Around
In the morning when I am on the bus, I typically find myself daydreaming because, I mean hey, I am just on a bus. However, when you stop and look out the window at all of the trees, or people, or buildings, or whatever the hey is around you, it is amazing. Every little thing on this earth is amazing. Just think about how much time it took to build that building, or how beautiful that tree is, or that every single person on that bus has a story to their life that you may not know. It is absolutely amazing.
Tip #2 Learn About The Things And People Around You
Every person that is living is living a blessing to be on this earth. Take the time to talk to a new person, or learn more about someone that you know. You will soon realize that we are all who we are based off of the experiences God has granted us. We all have out own unique traits, experiences, dreams, and stories. It is truly amazing.
Tip #3 Realize That Everything You Do Is A Blessing
Although it may seem boring to be at school, or work, or wherever, it is a blessing. You are getting to experience this thing for a reason. If you are doing this one thing, it will propel you to something in the future. Even if you realize that you do not like your job, you were blessed with this job, and the job will give you the realization to never have a job like this again. Therefore, even this is a blessing. Everything happens for a reason. Think of one event that didn't seem positive in your life at the time it occurred. Now think of how this affected you as a person, it changed you. Even if it changed you for the worse it changed you, and now you can realize this and change it. Everything happens for a reason.
I hope this random little post inspired you to live in the moment.
