¶ The Power of Now Introduction
The Power of Now . Does your past haunt you ? Does your future worry you ? If so , take a deep breath and ask yourself what power do you have right now ? Many of us spend so much time looking backwards , replaying old mistakes , regrets and failures .
We look ahead either in fear of the unknown or thinking about the opportunity we wished would have happened , or worrying about things that haven't even happened yet . But here are two truths . One the past is gone , no matter how much you analyze it , relive it or regret it . You can't change it . And two , the future is unknown .
You have no idea what life will bring , and worrying about it won't give you control over it . So where does your real power lie ? Right here , right now , in this moment . The only thing you truly own is now the present moment . It's the only space where change happens , the only space where decisions are made and the only place where you can take action .
What mindset or attitude can you shift right now ? What limiting beliefs can you let go of and what new thoughts can be embraced ? Here's the secret your mindset shapes your future . The way you think today affects the actions you'll take , and the actions you take determine your results . You have to ask yourself . Can you choose confidence over fear ?
Can you choose progress over perfection ? Can you choose action over hesitation ? Every great success starts with a decision . A decision to rise above , a decision to take control , a decision to move forward no matter what . Opportunity is not waiting for someday .
It's looking for those who make the decision now to do whatever it takes to change , to grow and to create the life they want . You don't need to have it all figured out . You don't need a perfect plan . You just need to take one step forward right now . This moment is yours . Use it wisely . Choose now , act now and change now .
It's not your past that defines you . It's not your worries about the future that shape you . It's what you choose to do right now that will change everything . Make it happen .
