Forever is composed of nows.
Emily Dickinson
When we talk about forever, it can feel like something grandiose and out of reach, like gazing at a mountain peak from the valley floor. But the truth is, 'forever' isn't somewhere off in the distance; it's happening right here, in the minutes and moments that are passing by as you read this.
Our lives are an intricate tapestry of 'nows.' Each second is a thread, each minute a stroke of color, each hour a pattern that contributes to the overall masterpiece. We often get caught up in the grand plans for 'one day' or get tangled in the 'what ifs' and 'if onlys' of the past. But the real magic? It's in the now.
This moment, this very instant, is where life is happening. It’s where decisions are made, where love is felt, where ideas are birthed, and where action takes place. It's where we have the power to shape our existence. When we string together each 'now' with intention and presence, we're not just passing time; we're crafting our forever.
So, embrace the now with both arms—hug it, engage with it, be fully present in it. It's the secret ingredient to a fulfilling life. Every mindful now is a step towards a future that reflects our deepest hopes and aspirations. When you look back on the forever that you've created, let it be with the knowledge that it was composed, one purposeful now at a time.
