Life is happening Now

You simply cannot escape this fact ⏳

What do you think, when you read that statement?

  • β€œYeah, I know.”
  • β€œSo what?”
  • β€œOh god, do I have to read another book, now?”
  • β€œI'm too busy for this right now.”
  • β€œLeave 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 β€œwhat 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 β€˜in my head’?

β†’ Made up

β†’ Not real

β†’ Doesn't exist

That's why a statement like β€˜Life is happening Now’ is so powerful. 

β†’ Because it's true.

β†’ Because it's real.

β†’ 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.
