Living in the moment is perhaps the easiest and also the most difficult....

 "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." Matthew 6:34.

Living in the moment is perhaps the easiest and also the most difficult....I had posted this a few years ago. Just this one line. Today, when I came across this, I realized the enormity of that one line.

I have been taking 'ONE DAY AT A TIME' just like the famous hymn, one of my favourites. Yes, to live in the moment is not as easy at it seems. Thoughts of what has been, what might have been and what will be are constantly lurking in the shadows of the mind, making an appearance and overpowering the NOW, more often than not. Regrets about the past and worry about the future don't allow us to fully experience the NOW. 

Living in the Present requires one's full attention. It means we focus on the task at hand and give it our best shot. It means we are fully present to the people around us too and interact with them with our whole beings without distractions. It means listening without interrupting. Most importantly it means being aware of God's presence and plan in everything and everyone. It means having faith that all things will work out for the best. It means being honest to ourselves. 

I believe if we take care of our present the future will take care of itself. And ever so often when we are faced with chaos it also means 'Letting Go and Letting GOD' take over.
