Being In The Present

If we knew what the future was going to be, would we do anything different than what we are doing now? Would our knowing this information change who we are in the present? Sometimes when we put all our energy in planning for the future, we are not taking the time to truly appreciate what is happening in our lives today. Know that the future is constantly changing depending on not only what we do but the interaction we have with other people. So even if we were able to glimpse into the future, the picture may change the moment we choose to take a different path. Today, imagine how different your future would look like by changing two things in your life. You can create the life you were meant to live once you begin to trust who you are. When you begin to truly believe in yourself, the universe will be waiting for you.
                    Life is like a county fair. We're tired of the old rides, can't wait for the scariest rides, impatient to stand in long lines, and get tummy aches when we eat too much junk food. But we love every minute of it...
(The Maui County Fair is great. It not only had the rides, games, and junk food, but they also had competitions. Competing for the best eggplant, green onion, and cucumber was best.
