\"\"<\/a>Your present really is perfect \u2013 especially when we know what to do with it!<\/p>\n

The present is perfect for learning to grow.\u00a0 Real learning occurs through living and doing, not studying, thinking, and regurgitation.\u00a0 As most teachers or coaches will agree that there is no better way to refine skills than through hands-on involvement.\u00a0 That means getting into the game, and being involved with the perfect present.<\/p>\n

If you hate your present and are out of synch with it, what do you think your future will look like?\u00a0 Yes, you can make a case for acknowledging our past and planning for your future, but in the realest of terms, the present is all you have to work with, anything else is simply wasted energy.\u00a0 Worry serves no useful purpose; it is a low frequency vibration and only attracts more of the same negative energy.\u00a0\u00a0 Reflecting upon our past only reinforces \u201cour stories,\u201d our interpretation of our experience of the world from our own little unique perspective, and it limits the possibility for growth.\u00a0 In other words, a preoccupation with past events is akin to swimming or rowing against the flow or current of life.<\/p>\n

The present may not appear exciting enough or rich enough to capture our full attention, especially compared to the vast reservoir of the past or the potential of the future. Not only is the present all you have to work with, but what is really exciting is that you can, indeed, CHANGE it.\u00a0 Changing the present is the easy, effortless way to affecting The Law of Attraction<\/em>, the equivalent of relaxing your grip on the oars and letting your boat go downstream.\u00a0 Conversely, the tough but prevalent way is trying to change the future while being deeply rooted in the past.\u00a0 If that isn\u2019t the prescription for inner conflict, what is?<\/p>\n

Think of this, if you want to evolve as a person, the present is actually just a series of minute marking points that add up to the bigger picture of your evolution.\u00a0 Each is a building brick to that which you want to become and attract.\u00a0 Skip or ignore those blocks and you can expect your evolution to be somewhat different.\u00a0 Also consider that while you are evolving in some sort of fashion, the rest of the world is too.\u00a0 If that doesn\u2019t make the present exciting, what does?<\/p>\n

Normally when you want improvements, you set goals for the future.\u00a0 Hasn\u2019t that been the conventional wisdom?\u00a0 How about taking that same energy and redirecting it to improve the present?\u00a0 You will probably attract a better future \u201cdoing,\u201d with the word \u201cattract\u201d being the operative one.\u00a0 A better future will probably find you with essentially no effort, as you have made the most of the present you have been provided.<\/p>\n

While you can learn much from your past, it could be also said that you could learn even more about your past from a complete understanding of your present.\u00a0 You could call your past the \u201ccause\u201d and then the present is your \u201ceffect.\u201d\u00a0 When you combine the two understandings, you are in a better position to conceive your future some might exclaim in disagreement.\u00a0\u00a0 Perfect does not mean that all is right, fair, just, or even desirable.\u00a0 Okay, it may not be ideal, optimum or even feel good, but it actually is perfect, perfect to learn from and grow forward from.<\/p>\n

Remind yourself to appreciate and be grateful for everything.\u00a0 Even the worst of the present circumstances offers gifts.\u00a0 So from either from a learning or growing perspective, the present really is perfect!<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
