Must Be Present to Win!

I’ve talked about this before and recently it’s come into my consciousness, yet again! I let myself go to the dark side. I was worrying about anything and everything that I could possibly THINK of to worry about! My thoughts were in the past and the future and I was ignoring the blissful, Present Moment. Then, Spirit told me I needed to “Get with the Program”! Thankfully, I did get the message and was able to bring myself back to the Present Moment. I had to let go of all of my controlling thoughts and just focus on The Now. Spirit was telling me that It had me and all I needed to do was BE. No thinking necessary. All I needed was to Be in The Moment, Be Aware, and Listen for Guidance. No need to Do anything, until Spirit was ready to show me something I needed to do.

I’m not saying that thoughts and imagination are bad things. My thoughts and imagination are extremely powerful tools, when used in the correct way. For example, using visualization to imagine something I would like to see in my life is a wonderful, amazing way to use my thoughts, but letting thoughts and imagination go to the dark, worrying side is not productive. As I’ve said before, worry is praying for what you don’t want. When I allow myself to be in the Present Moment, which is the Only Moment, all of my worries melt away. I let go of my ego’s need to have control. Then I can use my thoughts productively and to see what I truly want in my life.

Finally, I just want to share a funny thought that came into my head. The phrase, “Must Be Present to Win” doesn’t just apply to some contests, it applies to how I choose to live my life!
