The Magic of Being in the Here and Now
By Paul A Philips
It has been said that life is experience. It is indeed the only place where life exists. In recognition of this, to really get something out of the experience, it’s necessary to commit one’s self to being in the here and now as opposed to living in the past.
If you can distinguish the difference between when you are fully being in the here and now as opposed to having the effects of living in the past then you have the keys to personal effectiveness and achievement!
How do you do this?
Let me start with an analogy.
Remember when you were a child and your earliest walks in the park? You may remember that during those walks everything around you was so clear, the beauty of nature, the unexplored and the great unknown… made you come so alive and in the here and now…
Then the next few times you weren’t quite so alive because you got the idea that you’ve ‘seen those things in the park before…’ Then the times after that you got even less alive than previously for the same reasons as before… and so on. By the time you reach adulthood you don’t pay that much attention to the beauty of the surroundings while walking in the park… well and truly getting the idea that you’ve seen it all before!
By having the ‘seen it all before’ you no longer become truly present, alive and in to life…
However, something can happen that allows you to see things in a different light. It might be that you’re in such a good mood, or it’s a beautiful carefree morning, or for no reason whatsoever… you suddenly find yourself blissfully in the here and now while walking in the park. Notice this when it happens!
Because you’re in this state you look around and notice things you hadn’t seen before. The shades of green on a grassy verge, the leaf venation on the different trees come right into your attention in the moment, then you distinguish the different birds surrounding… You hear things that you may not have been aware of before…
