All you have is right now; this moment. There is nothing else. You have done things in the past that led you to right now. Things will happen to you in the future; some good and some bad. But the only thing that have in life is this moment. What are you doing with it?
It's so easy to spend time regretting what happened in the past, or worrying about what might happen in the future. But if you spend all of your time doing that, you end up missing out on your life as it's happening.
This is not to say that you should pretend that the past never happened, or that you should fail to plan for the future, but that you should not put either of those things at a higher priority level than the present. Acknowledge the mistakes that you made in the past, and choose to learn from them to help yourself make better decisions now. Recognize the good choices you made in the past, and make an effort to continue to make them. Think about how you want your future to look, and make decisions now that will help lead you to that future.
Most importantly, never forget that your life is happening right now. It is so easy to get hung up on trivial details, or to worry about things that we can't control. Choose to be present for your own life; truly present in body, mind and spirit, not in body only. Choose to live every now to the fullest. Make every now the best now that it can be.
Make the choice to live your life on purpose by making every moment of your life the best that it can be.
