When we talk about living in the present moment, we also have to talk about embracing the unknown because the present moment is the unknown. This is one major reason why most people don't live in the present moment. 

Rather than living in the present moment, most people live in the past (is this you?) because the past is familiar, and therefore, feels easier to control. When life feels "controllable," life feels safer and easier and comfortable.

Living in the present moment takes a lot of courage because it requires us to surrender the illusion of control and surrender to the unknown.

This conversation intends to clarify why the present moment is the unknown, how embracing the unknown is powerful, and intends to comfort you in the discomfort of expecting the unexpected.
