Excerpt Step 3.

Align with Now

You are invited to synchronize your internal clock to the moment in time where the rest of your life is created: the Now. A joyful, meaningful and love-filled existence can only be created one moment at a time, and that moment is always now. What “was” is gone and what “will be” has not arrived yet. So, if you want to have a great life, you better grab it before it slips through your fingers.

We came into physical form to engage in a creation process that never ends and always happens in the Now. Let's realize this and enjoy the journey!

But are you willing to be amazed, loved, prosperous, healthy and respected? Are you really? Are you truly willing to be happy-at this very moment? Even on Monday mornings or when you are paying your bills? We can only create a happy tomorrow if we celebrate what we have today.

The very nature of our existence is not reaching a certain goal, it is the process. It is creation itself. We came into physical form to engage in a creation process that never ends and always happens in the Now. Let's realize this and enjoy the journey! Life is like a vacation. You want to savor each and every moment.

True happiness can only be created one moment at a time, and that moment is always now.

SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS! WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN, FOR YOU, HERE, NOW?

The past and future are merely reflections of the NOW

All that you would ever want is available to you right now. For these words to bear any more significance than the mumblings of a drunkard in the night, we need to step out of our delusional state of mind and wake up. Most of us believe that life is about accomplishing something–tomorrow. We are convinced that the human experience is a journey to a certain goal: possibly love, wealth, health, or enlightenment. This widely accepted, but highly erroneous, belief structure is the cause of much unnecessary suffering.

The Divine purpose of the human journey is not to get to a certain destination; the sole purpose is the journey itself: a journey that takes place in the now–exclusively in the now. It is much like an exotic vacation to a lush subtropical island. You didn't book the vacation to return home. That would be silly. I'm sure, your intention is to enjoy each and every moment of your stay.

“But,” you may respond, “my life doesn't feel like a vacation at all, it's more like a rollercoaster.” Yes indeed, life may feel that way, but realize that no one told you to get on. You bought the ticket. So why not relinquish your resistance, let go, and enjoy the ride. Start paying attention to what is happening right this very moment and “take it all in.” You'll love it. Life is awesome!

Realize that you are a spiritual being. You are whole and complete as you are, right now. Happiness and enlightenment is a “from-the-inside-out-deal.” As long as you are aware that you are Spirit, you can relish in eternal love and wisdom. The physical world is not designed to provide that for you. Why would it? You already have it, or actually, you are it. The reality that surrounds you is like paint for an artist. The paint doesn't create happiness, nor does the canvas. It's the process of creating that is enjoyable.

Living in the now is the portal to a joyful and meaningful existence. Certainly, we can make plans for the future, but we need to experience the now. And when we do, we access timelessness. Past and future are only reflections of the now, and only occur in our mind. Only the now is real. Only in the now will we align with our true essence and purpose.
