LIVE IN THE PRESENT




when i was living in hawaii, i surfed ALOT. an average of 5 hours per day.....it was lovely, i was young, tan, carefree, and very happy. (and still am :) I am not sure which one of my friends had a surfboard that had these words written across the stringer in the middle of the board, it said

"BE HERE NOW"

thats some pretty dang good advice. we only have the now, the past is gone, we cant control the future, we can however truly savor the present moment and make the most of TODAY. The great this about this philosophy is that it makes the past great with amazing memories and it makes the future bright because we know that whatever we will be doing will be 'the good and right thing'

be present in your own life. when you are with your lover give them your all, when you are with your kids give them your all, when you are excercising give it your all....not your all out effort but surrender to the moments and soak them up. After all what is life really about?

I love listening to Dr wayne dyer for this exact reason, read his stuff, listen, absorb, expand,LIVE And

"BE HERE NOW"

You are the only one that creates your reality

Once again Matt nice post. I'm a regular on your blog, I really enjoy reading your thoughts. Talk Jeremy into coming to California. I think it would be tons of fun, good for the marriage, and cheap, so use your persuasive skills and and get Jeremy on board. Then I can learn to surf and cross that off my bucket list. Also I'm working on my foo jounal.

Nice blog entry, but the fact remains...Oasis had an album called Be Here Now...and it was great.
