Living in the Moment





There have been thousands of books and articles written on living in the moment. It has been a spiritual concept based on developing a greater awareness or consciousness. In a fast-paced world that is focused on activity, achievement and results, it's easy to lose the present and get lost in the concerns of tomorrow. Humans are social creatures by nature, but many still have a fundamental need for silence and reflection.

By living "fully out," you can not only experience reduced stress, but much more. Studies have shown that you can improve your health as the link between our state of mind and physical health increases. You can better control your thoughts, which can allow you achieve more with focused energy. And most importantly, you may find your purpose in life. It was a quiet moment in meditation, when I gained a greater understanding of my life's purpose to improve the lives of those around me.

Most of us let the present slip away, allowing precious time to pass by and instead worry about the future or punishing ourselves for the past. It's time to live in the moment and be mindful.

Wishing You Wealth in all its Greatest Forms,
