Presence & wandering pedestrians

Walking around Wellington, I often look at pedestrians faces to see if they are actually aware of the present moment. Are they aware of what is going on around them? Are they looking at their surroundings? observing what is happening right now? Most are not.

The majority of people I observe have blank faces. They are running images in their mind of the future, or the past. Scenarios like “what if this happens”, or “what didnt I do that”.

Living in the now provides a path to absolute clarity. Obsessing over the future (or the past) is insanity. Why? Because it is not real, its in your mind. All that is real is right now.

The greatest truth

There has never been a greater truth as is this:

Thoughts in your mind; ideas, thoughts, concepts, situations, scenarios, future events. They do not exist.

No-one has ever got rich off a future idea or been killed by a past thought.

These exist in your mind and they are not real. They are not real

People get rich of acting in the NOW. right now, this is the only reality.

Success is an accumulation of nows.

The constant repetitive ACTION of the moment, the reality.

What are you doing now?
