When I was in my twenties I loathed everything around me ...... I loathed my job, I loathed my family, I loathed my neighbors ...... I loathed my life. I was always imagining what the future would hold for my life, what I would do, where I would go, and how I would raise my children. Then I suddenly discovered a secret, which brought about a dramatic change in my life. Since then, I've been able to do what I want to do, live the life I want to live, and build those relationships I want to have. But before I tell you this ultimate truth of life I want to remind you ...... This truth is so simple that most people completely ignore it in favor of other, better, more lofty, harder to do but sounding truths ...... The purpose of this is that even if the truth is very difficult to practice in real life, it can be used as a fun after-dinner conversation with friends. I used to do this, looking for grand excuses to talk to friends about the meaning of philosophy or the true meaning of life. But when I finally discovered the ultimate meaning of life, it changed me forever. The ultimate truth of life is. Life is made up of "today" only, and "today" is made up of "here and now" only. There is no tomorrow. There is no yesterday. All you have is the here and now. There is no tomorrow. There is no yesterday. There is no sooner, no later, only the present moment. Everything you do in life, every thought you have in your life, every plan you have in your life - do it right now. You can't do the future, you can't plan the past, you can only plan today, and most importantly you have to make the most of today. So whatever you want to do in life, you must do it today, and you must do it from this moment today. Tomorrow will not come, and yesterday is not gone. You can't do tomorrow and you can't change what already happened yesterday. All you can do is start right here and now. This truth sounds simple, but executing it is more difficult than doing many things in life. How can you use this truth to make your life better? Since you can't change the past - then stop thinking about how to change the past and forget about it. Let the past be the past. Move on. Since you can't do what you can do tomorrow, then start working on it now. Want to become healthier - start exercising now. If you're really lacking in exercise, start with a few push-ups. Want to get richer - save a dollar today. Take that dollar out of your wallet and put it in the piggy bank right now. Want to be a writer? -- Write 1,000 words today. Don't plan to start writing tomorrow, start now. Don't know how to write? Start writing 100 words around things you can write about. Want a sexy, beautiful girlfriend? --Open your mouth and talk to the girl you like. Don't wait for the "perfect time", this is the perfect time. There's no other chance, so go say "Hi" to her now. However, I can't do everything in my life plan right away, what should I do? It's true that you can't do that, and that's one of the obstacles in life. We always overestimate what we want to accomplish today and underestimate what we can accomplish in a year. So, whatever you want to accomplish in life, write it down immediately. Take 5 minutes and assume that paper is magic and that what you write down will come true. Write down your life goals, 3 year goals, 1 year goals and 3 month goals. Take no more than 5 minutes to write these down. Take another minute to circle the one goal that is contained in all four goals, which is the goal that will make a significant difference in your life. Take another 5 minutes to write down a 3-month plan for how you want to accomplish this goal. Then assign these plans to your daily tasks. Then do the first and most important task that will get you closer to your goal, and do it now. This way you can accomplish your life goals. You get up every morning and immediately do the important tasks that will help you achieve your life goals. Before you know it, you are on your way to achieving your life goals, you just need to take action to achieve it right now today, not tomorrow, not next week, not next year. Take immediate action today and it will get you to live the life you want. When you look back at yesterday, you will realize that this life goal is just one thing you have been doing in your life. Your whole life will be with your life purpose. Give it a try right here and now. I know you want to stop and say, I'll do it later - there is no "later". There is only now. Do it now. Or 3 years from now, when you're alone and you think about these past years - you'll remember this answer to those goals you could have done but didn't. Make the decision and then make it happen. While you're in the process of taking action, there's another important thing going on, and that's the "here and now. You don't have to worry about tomorrow, you don't have to make excuses for yourself, you don't have to think about saving face. Because you're taking action right now. You're great. And when you're done with them - you can hang out with your friends without feeling guilty, you can feel good about being with them, and if you want, you can have a beer. Or just take a break from worrying about tomorrow. But before you can do that, you have to take action today to achieve your goals, starting immediately.
