This Week's FREE Self-Help Seminar

Today's Reflection

Another year is drawing to a close. Time seems to be flying by. Our two eldest children will end their first term at university this week - it seems as if it were only yesterday when they were toddling around the back yard with snotty noses! And, very often, even the days fly - we get to five or six o'clock in the evening wondering where the day has gone and how we have achieved so little. Life resembles an express train.

But unlike any other train that your board - intent on getting to a destination - life is all about enjoying the ride rather than getting to the final destination. Life is about living each rattle and hum of the wheels on the tracks, it's all about savouring the moment and being in the now.

If we really were savouring the moment, time would fly - but in a qualitatively different way - in the way that time flies when you're having fun! You wouldn't suddenly find yourself asking "where has the day gone?", "hasn't the year flown by?" or "how have they grown up so quickly?" You would simply be moving effortlessly - almost like gliding - from one experience to the next. Even if the experience were bad, you would effortlessly rise to the occasion and do the right thing.

Does that sound like your normal everyday life? Because, if it doesn't, you're doing something wrong. Most probably, you're caught in the dreamworld of the normal mind - something that more closely resembles a nightmare.

You've got to wake from that dreamworld now. There's no point in admitting to yourself now that you're not gliding through life - and then doing nothing to rectify the matter. Life is lived in tiny moments - nows - now is the moment for you to rectify the situation and start truly living your life.
