The Present Is a Gift

Every day holds new opportunities. Every dawn provides us with a valuable gift which is to improve and grow ourselves for the better, increase our knowledge of ourselves.

There’s a famous saying that goes: “The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That’s why it is called the present.” The present offers us the opportunity to change ourselves for the better, and get rid of past patterns or old behavioral rooted deep within that impede us from moving forward towards the knowledge of ourselves. These might be a wrong way of thinking or a wrong way of seeing life, procrastinating, living in fear or in doubts, etc.

We all end up by learning, either willingly or through pain, for nothing happen in our life but for a reason: to teach us a lesson we need to learn. Moreover, we all need to reassess from time to time our own perspective from life. We need to re-evaluate our thoughts, our emotions and behaviors. For life is a school of the self where we need to understand ourselves better, elevate ourselves to a higher vibration.

If you tend to be surrounded by people who often treat you unfairly then at one time of your lifetime, you tended to treat people unfairly as well. For every cause there is a result. Our present is the result of our past and will be the cause of our future. That’s the funny wheel of karma. Awakening to your previous life enlighten you on many issues about your present, the people that are in your current life including your family, friends and acquaintances.

On the other hand, the present is a blessing, for no matter how much we might have messed up in our previous life, the present is an opportunity to fix it.

Moreover, the present time gives us the opportunity to heal our wounds that might reside within; these might be in the forum of ancient trauma that might have arisen either from this life or from a previous one.

Last but not least, the present teaches us how to love ourselves and embrace all the difficulties within.

The bottom line is that when we delve within and find more about ourselves and our relationships, we boost the spiritual life that is alive within each one of us.
