Sadness & Rememberance

You can't go on feeling sad without first consenting to stand in the ashes of some past event and then rubbing the memory of it all over yourself.


~ Guy Finley

This statement really struck me. 


It struck me alot because I've been practicing Living in the Now!


And when I Live in the Now, I'm not living in the past event which isn't even occurring other than in my mind.  The past doesn't exist.  That moment is gone. And neither does the future exist....Other than in my mind.


I only have Now.  And when I'm present in my Now, I have no need to be sad.


I breath deeply Now, and I come back to being present Here & Now.  And Life is Good.

I choose to spend less energy and time on what's gone and what hasn't even come yet.  And give that saved energy to the moment.



Do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
 Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?
 "And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?
 "And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin,
yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.
"But if God so clothes the  grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!
 "Do not worry then, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear for clothing?'
 "For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for  your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
 "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
 "So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

Matt 6:25-34
