Only Present Is Real
Anything that is past is untouchable and it only exists in memory (either human or electronic memory or lost in time).
Anything that is the future only exists in imagination until it becomes present when it becomes a reality.
The present is precious because that is the only real thing that we have and it will become a memory in just one second.
Every second, another present becomes past.
While past present and future can be interconnected, the doing phase is only in the present.
If we spend time thinking about the past or the future, we are wasting a way the only real thing that we have and which will not wait for us as it is turning into past every second by second.
That means this present that we have is precious and unique and will never return to us.
So if we want to make a difference, we need to act in present and live this present and absorb this present and that can turn past into fond memories and that can turn future into a beautiful present.
The same applies to the people and things
Whoever was in the past is no longer real unless that same person is in the present.
Whoever is in the present may no longer be there in the next moment.
Whoever is expected in the future is not real until comes in the present.
Same applies for things.
Can we go back in the past and relive it. Can we control the forces of nature in the future?
The only one thing that we have in our hands is what we have in the present.
The views, the sounds, the people, the things, and ourselves in present.
These are our companions in the present.
And present should be our focus.
If there was a delete button in our mind and let's say that memory of the past is erased, then anything that gave us any sort of feeling would not affect us in any which way. It would neither have the potential to make us happy nor sad.
It would just become non existent.
That means what we make of our past is the play of our memory.
The memory is needed to function fully in the present.
If we can control the memory and choose to erase anything that was not pleasant, we can stay very pleasant at all the times.
If we program our memories with the data that we would like to see, it can now make us the happiest ever.
Basically, it's our hard drive and we should only keep the life movies that gave us rich learning experiences and make us feel accomplished and pleasant.
Delete the rest of the unwanted memories into the archive of our minds. It's always beneficial to have them archived so they are available if needed in the future but that way it won't take too much space in the present.
And our present will be wholly available to experience and perform and make new memories which can be kept in the main folder of our brain or archive.
Present is where we can make a difference and present is the only time when we can collect more happy past and create more happy future.
Focus on the present time and present company and present activity is the most productive and fruitful way of living.
And this life which is present, who knows when it will become past and it sure will happen.
The choice is ours.Do we want to waste it or live it.
Let's live each moment as if it is the only opportunity to live this moment in the eternal time, because... that is actually true!
