As time passes, I am reaching closer to the tomorrows I would ever dream of. Now, here I am. Years of life all passed with an eye on the future. Am I the person I thought I would be “in the future”? It does not really matter.
Years of chasing dreams have given me nothing but a deviation from the current moment. The inability to enjoy little joys of every single thousand days I have lived makes me consider the way I am living my life. Maybe, all these dreams for a better future was an escape from the courage needed to live life as it is right now.
Time is grounding. I mean, literally, we are going to end up in the ground after a while. It is important to come to this realization as early as possible. The realization that the only real thing is the current moment I am experiencing right now is pushing me to act: to act like the person I want to be.
As I am acting like the person I want to be, I am becoming the person. The person is not in the future but is right here, right now, right in me. Accepting this as the truth and acting on it changes the world over time. The effects of becoming the person internally shapes the reality of the external world. As I am repeating my behavior as the person, universe accepts my internal representation as external universal truth.
This might prompt me to act in accordance with the externals, and that would be just as foolish as chasing moments in the future. As there is no other reality for a person but the feeling of self in the current moment.
