When I live in the future it brings me pain and suffering, because I setup expectations for my life that I have no control over. When I start to think about all the what ifs – whether positive or negative – it always leads to pain, because I have no control over these things, and no matter how elaborate my conjectures maybe, life has it’s own methods and plans.
So I bring myself back to the present. In the present I am able to express love for the universe fearlessly, numbering my days one by one, being grateful for the eternity of experience, being joyful and passionate about the now moments I experience with various energies.
Although I have desires about the future, I have no expectation that anything more will come of what I presently have. I refuse to feel disappointment, which means I will refuse to impose expectation on what is happening or is not happening in my life.
