The Gift of Today

Tomorrow is always there and holds so many promises, so much of the future, yet we can never reach it. To think of tomorrow is comforting, reassuring, but it is only a concept. It is not real. So, too, your life planned in the future is not real. The only real thing is this moment, your breath, your blood beating in your heart, your skin surrounding your body and your love. This is all that is real.

But can you live with that? Can you keep your body alive if you don’t prepare for the future? Preparation is, of course, necessary, but the preoccupation of thinking and planning for the future is not. Live now. Feel now. Love now. Give now. Forget the past, let it go, good and bad. Create now. Create your present in the highest image of your Self, in your highest thoughts.

When you live in such a way, the future takes care of itself. Love creates the path forward and you can follow it forever into the future without a care. But you must let go of those heavy thoughts, the hard thoughts and the petty thoughts. They cannot live in the presence of love and Light. They must be left behind.

Give yourself the gift of today, of love and Light today. Let yourself become one with the Light and you will drop the past and envelop the present with your love. It is a very practical thing to do for it follows the laws of the universe. Love and be loved. You are love. Let it find you.
