016 - Take A Breath

“None of us can outrun our past, nor can any of us catch the future. I suggest pacing yourself with the flow of today.” - Johnnie Williams III

This quote was crafted to spare you the time I have wasted toiling over a painful past that my thoughts, findings, and opinions can do nothing about. And as a visionary, I have squandered so many moments on the thought of future possibilities.

Do you know how beneficial it’ll be for you to take some deep breaths each day?

When you’re feeling stressed – or getting frustrated with life or others… Taking a breath will never fail you – but just might save you or maybe a relationship. Think about it… Life begins and ends with it, so there is power in this simple exercise of self-regulation. I know that yesterday can be addictive and tomorrow quite mesmerizing, but we only catch the flow in the present moment. So don’t miss your opportunity.

Why do we love our past so much? 

And… How is it the future offers us so much hope? 

Maybe the fact that many believe our future is shaped by it… the past that is. But I find that to be untrue. You might respectfully disagree, but I believe that we live in, and exist in a vacuum comprised of only (right) now. So, all there is- is the present that’s often wasted on reliving our past or looking beyond our present.
