life can be be a real presant, if you let it.

The present moment is all you will ever have so why not live there?
In the modern world of mass communication and cell phones I find it interesting how people have transferred the preoccupation of society with some where else, to even the cell phone.

I see students in a group all together instead of talking to each other in the group , some will be instant messaging some one not there, others on the phone talking to some one else instead of interacting with who is in front of them right now.

Most of my life I have been a people watcher at a younger age some of the time in judgment of all I see in recent years it has shifted to not in judgment of what I see as much as the desire to understand the dynamics of the human species.

From this place I find that all people are basically good and want the same things, but there unconsciousness brings them allot of misery. Since we are all more alike then different the more I can understand you the more I can understand myself.

In seeing and understanding your motivations I can see and more fully my motivations. Years ago when I was working for a personal development company one of the concepts I was introduced to is the fact that we are all blind to our dysfunctional behaviors.

Manley because the dysfunctional behaviors’ are habitual, mechanical and participated in unconsciously, like Pavlov’s Dog some one pushes the button and we react instantly. We get a complement we feel up or good, we get criticized and we feel down or get up set instantly and automatically, just like a machine.

When we gather with people we have known instead of being present in the here and now we talk about things that happened in the past with them, remembering joys, follies, stupid things we did, and so on.

You could truly say every ones favorite place is SOME WHERE ELSE, other then where we are right now.

At work we are always some were else thinking about bills or our kids, or what we will do that night or what we will do on the weekend, or thinking about how some one upset us going over it again and again and again.

Leaving us board at work hating what we are doing now and wanting to be some where else. Most people hate there Job, with the most common complaints being boredom, and monotints’ work turning what we do to make a living in to miserable experience.

I know most of my life I have hated what I did for a living all of it. Then I got a job that I truly loved, and because of circumstances that at the time seamed beyond my reach left it.

And I suffered for years longing to be doing that job again even hating the fact that I ever had it. Because every thing else sucked in comparison.

Now I know that it wasn’t the job but how I participated in the job that made it so fun and fulfilling.

The job was as a facilitator of workshops and processes with people one on one. The job required my complete undivided attention in the here and now.

When I am present in the here and now even the most boring job as perceived before can be fulfilling enjoyable and even fun. The secrete is to give it my undivided attention, to fully be here right now, in what ever I am doing right now, with out resistance of any kind.

From this place even weighting for a doctors appointment can be enjoyable. Did you ever think about it, that there will never be a time in your life that is not right now, and you will never be any where that is not right here. Here and now it all there is and all there will ever be.

There in not any dreamed of wonderful, fulfilling, and exciting event that will not happen and be experienced right here and right now. There will never be any thing you can do that is not right here and right now.

And we still persist to think of dream of long for “some where else” other then right her and right now.

So end the suffering by allowing your self to just be present here right now.

Enjoy what you do by excepting what ever you are dealing with and give it your undivided attention, right here right Now.

And transform your boring monotones job in to something that is fulfilling enjoyable and even fun.

Just something to think about.
