What do you think, when you read that statement?

- *“Yeah, I know.”*
- *“So what?”*
- *“Oh god, do I have to read another book, now?”*
- *“I'm too busy for this right now.”*
- *“Leave it out Giles, have you seen my ToDo list?!”*

I used to brush off a statement like **Life is happening now** with ease. I was brilliant at it. I'd look at all the things I had to do, think *“what difference does that make anyway?”* and then just chalk it up as a bunch of hippy crap. 

At times like these, I was also stuck. And pretty miserable. I never seemed to *move* in my life. Because I was procrastinating on living.

> It was all going on in my head, not in my life.

You know another way to say ‘in my head’?

 → Made up

 → Not real

 → Doesn't exist

That's why a statement like ‘Life is happening Now’ is so powerful. 

 → Because it's true.

 → Because it's real.

 → Because it's … all … you … get.

Don't be stuck. Don't procrastinate on living. Don't put off the things that are important to you. 

Read this carefully:

⚠️

The things you want to happen in the future cannot happen in the future, because the future isn't real. It's just a thought in your head.

The future you want can only happen Now, by the things you create Now.

(And yes, I mean NOW, as in, put your phone down and make that call, send that email, write that post, have that conversation!)

Start creating what you want, today, Now.

Only because **Life is happening Now.**
