Solving Today
I only need to solve today's problems today.
How much of precious time and energy do I spend trying to "solve my life" months and years hence? Quite a lot, that's how much!
But whilst it IS important that I do some forward thinking - for example, that I live prudently and intelligently so as plan responsibly for my future, and that of my lovely daughters, it's equally important that I recognise this truth: that today well-lived is the foundation upon which I build my tomorrows.
The life I am so busy planning and worrying about will, in all likelihood, not be as I'm imagining it. I will have forgotten something (quite possible), or an unforeseen circumstance will alter my plan (very probable!). After all - did I know ten years ago that this is what I would be doing now?
If only I can train myself to let go of the constant low level of anxiety I nurture, about my unknown future, I know that today will feel longer, deeper and less complicated. I can only solve today - it is the only time that is actually within my reach.
So today's project is, to live in the present moment as fully as I can.
