This book was a life changer for me. I can't even describe how it changed the way I thought about life.
We have problems in our life that we can't control, and either we get mad, sad, or experience other negative emotions.
"The Power Of Now " is all about being present, even in difficult situations. People have trouble being present because everyone is just so stuck in their minds.
The past leads to guilt and regret, and the future leads to stress and uncertainty.
Our minds don't create our thoughts, we do, and we are the ones in control of our lives. We can't control what happens to us, but we can control how we respond to a situation.
Look at children for example, they are always in the present moment. They don't care about the past or future because they are too busy having fun, and enjoying themselves.
When I was depressed 3 years ago, I was always stuck in my mind. I was nowhere but in my mind, and I didn't how to get out of my mind.
A lot of us are in this mental prison where we let are minds enslave, and control us. We have to realize that we are the creators of our reality, and how we feel inside will become reality on the outside.
You have two choices in life. You can either be your greatest enemy, or your greatest ally. Choice wisely my friends.
P.S I'll be posting a blog about how to be present soon! So stay turned for that and have a great day!:)
