Presumably, we are all here because we have goals. Goals for most areas of our lives.
And we all know that decisions are made in the present; that it is in the now that we make the choice to move towards or away from what we dream. Though we often spend time thinking of the past, or the future, in our more lucid moments there is awareness that neither is important, as they've already happened.
So let us speak of ways to sharpen this awareness, to help us re-focus when we start to get fuzzy.
I have a phrase I repeat to myself constantly to remind me to be what I'm doing. It's actually lyrics from a Slipknot song, haha, but they've always really spoken to me, and I find the mental repetition of them so much more useful than most of the self-help type garbage I've seen over the years:
"I've felt the air rise up in me, kneel down and clear the stone of leaves. I wander out where you can't see, inside my shell I wait and bleed."
