Ask someone how they’re doing and you’re likely to hear: “Busy.” We don’t want to just stay busy, though. We want to live a life of meaning.

One of the most tragic things is to waste your years dreaming of “Someday Isle (or I’ll),” when things will be better, or when conditions will be right… and then you’ll take action. But there is no someday. There’s only today. There’s only right now.

We live in a world where we’re “always in and always on”–which leaves us always exhausted! Even with the best of intentions, our ability to be fully present and engaged in this moment is limited when we’re running on fumes.We must pause to re-energize.

We live in a state of what has been called “continuous partial attention.” If we’re not careful, our attention is under fire from the moment we wake up until the moment we go to sleep. When your attention is pulled in so many directions–all the time–it’s hard to know what you really need to pay

There’s one thing we have to be very aware of when we open ourselves to this moment: It may not be exactly what we were looking for, or what we were hoping for.
