All high achieving men and women live in the present. They know that their future is now. People who are the most successful in life know that the present is the only time they have control over.
One of the main reasons that most people do not achieve happiness and success is because they are constantly dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. When people are not living in the present they often have accidents Cheap Carl Lawson Jersey , make mistakes, and perform sloppy or careless work.
It is common for people to leave the present and take a mental or emotional trip to the past or some imagined place in the future. This is often called daydreaming and it happens when you are not living in the present moment. You know the symptom, a vacant-eyed expression.
When someone is not living in the present moment, you cannot communicate with them. There is no one there to receive the communication. On their mental journey Cheap Jordan Willis Jersey , the sound of your voice is nothing more than comforting background noise. This is the time when accidents, problems, errors, and sloppy work occur Cheap Nick Vigil Jersey , when the person is not in the present moment.
If so many negative consequences result from not staying focused in the present moment, why do so many people live in the past or the future? I have found there are three main reasons why most people dwell on the past or worry about the future:
1. People have guilt about something they've done in the past and have an unwillingness to let go.
2. People are concerned or worried about a possible future outcome.
3. People have discomfort about some aspect of their present circumstance or situation.
Each reaction is useless and destructive in its own way. Feeling guilty accomplishes nothing. All it does is lower your self-esteem, and increase your level of anxiety and stress. Instead, you should learn the valuable lessons from your past mistakes and move on.
Worry about the future is equally as counterproductive. It does you no good to worry about an event that has not and may not ever occur. You should instead be planning for your future. When you apply knowledge from the past and take actions in the present you will create a positive outcome for the future and eliminate needless and unproductive worry.
Many people choose not live in the present so that they can avoid uncomfortable situations. If you're not living in the present Cheap Joe Mixon Jersey , you're missing out on valuable learning opportunities. When you avoid taking personal responsibility for your role in the present, you are doomed to repeat your mistakes in future.
Every moment we live in the present is an opportunity to harvest the lessons from the past and plant new seeds for the future. By not living our lives in the present, we are actually rejecting the past instead of taking responsibility for it.
The only real time is now. The past is gone and the future is imagination. When you stay focused on what you are doing in the present you will notice a major increase in the quality of your life. When you are focused, you will also notice things you missed before; you will feel more alive and engaged.
Best of all Cheap John Ross Jersey , you will find that be living in the present moment, you will eliminate your discomfort with the present and redirect your emotional energy to the achievement of positive outcomes in the future.

Ozzie, my four-month old Rottweiler peered up at me with his big brown eyes Cheap Dre Kirkpatrick Jersey , as I temporarily left him for a very important surgical procedure. As much as it broke my heart to drop off my "baby" at the local humane society, I know it was the responsible thing to do.
What Ozzie doesn't know is that today is the first day of the rest of his life. He is being neutered.
Being a rescue volunteer, I've acquired a rather large brood of dogs into my family circle. Having adopted six boys and two girls of the canine species, I've come to complete understanding of the importance of spaying and neutering our furry companions.
Persons who come in contact with me and my animals will ask Cheap Vontaze Burfict Jersey , "how can you spay and neuter these beautiful animals? You could breed them and make a profit."
When I encounter these folks, I tend to get a little testy and become a bit wordy with an explanation to the multiple reasons behind my choice as a responsible pet owner: (All animals are beautiful, but unless an individual has the time, funding or resources to "breed" puppies Cheap Carlos Dunlap Jersey , it is not a good idea to permit one's animals to produce offspring that may end up in a "puppy mill" environment. (For more information on "Puppy Mills," go to ) Spaying or neutering is a fairly inexpensive procedure if done at your local shelter or Humane Society Spay or Neuter Clinic. Furthermore, spaying and neutering has minimal risks and is one of the most common, animal surgical procedures. (For the address of your local Humane Society Cheap Tyler Eifert Jersey , click here: ) A spayed or neutered animal behaves better. While unsterilized males tend to roam in search of a mate, they risk injury or death due to traffic and fight incidents. They also tend to mark territory with urine, and can be quite embarrassing when they decide to mount objects and human legs when excited. Unsterilized females will also roam, have bloody discharge Cheap Geno Atkins Jersey , will yowl and urinate more often during heat cycles; and have a tendancy to tear or chew their way out of an enclosure. Neutered or spayed dogs and cats focus primarily on their human counterparts and do not exhibit behavior patterns as mentioned above. My main reason for spaying or neutering: Spayed or Neutered animals live longer, healthier lives. " neutering a male cat or dog before six months of age prevents testicular cancer and prostate disease. Spaying a female cat or dog helps prevent pyometra and breast cancer..."
