Life is the gift of time borrowed in flesh, and all we can physically live in is the present. The continuity of “time” is our eminent path to our demise, therefore the present is truly a gift. Being in the present (your physical existence) is the opportunity to seize the moment and live. In the present moment you have two choices; the choice to accept, or reject your surroundings, circumstances, and way of being. Often times, as human beings we operate out of past experiences for survival instead of operating out of the present that is always leading into the future.
Accepting the present moment as the gift of life is being open, courageous, and willing to give up the ego’s hold on circumstances we have little or no control over. This acceptance, is true freedom, and ultimately recognition that you as a human being are perfectly where you get to be. Life is full of lessons for each one of us, no one is without their ups and downs, Perhaps if we all saw that in each other the world would be a happier place.
