Now. Now. Now. Right now is the most important moment of your life. Not yesterday; not tomorrow. Now. There is no other time you have to express your Godhood but now. The past only has a hold on you as memories to learn from.
The future is only what you make it with your attitude and acts; garbage in, garbage out. The present moment is all you have. The truth of the matter is that there has never been any other time you are getting the best of life if not the present moment.
That event you expect would give you an ecstatic moment better than you are having now will never give you as much as you anticipate.
The highest thrill is in the anticipation; the same kind of high gamblers get when they expect they would get 1 million naira from 200 naira bet.
When I was a one-man choir with my mid-sized guitar, there was this song I composed;
I found the key, yeh
The master key
I found the key, yeh
that opens all doors
the door to life, yeh
the door to love, yeh
the door to peace
the door to God
yeh
living in the nowness of time
nothing lost, nothing gained at all
uuuuuhhh
no yesterday, no tomorrowÂ
I live in the nowness of time
I live in eternity eee
eternityÂ
my true homeÂ
eternity
where I’m from
eternity
where I’m going
eternity
I found the key yeh
the masters key…
Beautiful song that explained that state of mind one gets when one realizes that really, nothing else matters. Nothing else but now and therefore deserves our 100 percent for us to get 100 percent. You get?
Think about it, when else should you be happy? When else should you be content? When else should you forgive? When else should you love? When else should you try that new skill? When else but NOW.Â
And immediately you grab the present moment and make the most of it which is lovingly giving of your attention to enhance and not to destroy, you enjoy the magic of the moment. The magic of NOW. It is a thought that could get one giddy headed. Imagine concentrating on the present now and letting go of all the pains of yesterday or the worries of tomorrow. That is the only way you can enjoy the kingdom of righteousness, peace and joy. Now. The eternity is now.
How can you enjoy the magic of now? By just consciously repeating now to ground yourself every now and then. Notice that which is before you and interact with it wholeheartedly. Notice everything now. See things as they are not as they seem to be. See. Be. Here. Now.
