Letting go of time.

We tend to live our lives either in the past or in the future. Worrying about what happened or what may happen. We live in our heads talking to ourselves and rationalizing who we are, how we act and who else is to blame for our condition, creating the emotional pain we all suffer from to some degree. Letting go of time and living in the now frees us from our minds and consequently our pain. Who we truly are lies in the magic of what we are doing right now, at any given moment and where our true passions are leading us. If you have to think about something then let it be positive, appreciative and something worth moving towards. Eckhart Tolle once wrote -  "Time isn't precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time - past and future - the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is."  So finding ways of letting go of the past, and not worrying about the future, will free you to experience the present more fully and with a greater sense of joy and appreciation.
