When you're driving to a destination, do you fixate on it only? When you're hungry, can you think clearly or focus on what is at hand or do must you eat right then? In any situation, how long are you content, happy or satisfied until your brain takes you to the next requirement or request?
When teaching Yoga, one of my main goals is to teach students the value of taking time to stay present and observe or listen to their bodies within each pose, rather than rushing to the next pose. Many try their best to out guess me on what the next sequence or anasa is. I have notice, as in class and outside of class or off their mat, many of the students live their lives in the future - rushing it.
Many don't know what it feels like to not be in a state of wanting or living in the future. I see this as trying to obtain happiness that is not there yet or tyring to make happiness appear.
Instead of taking this route, wouldn't it be nice or better to live in the moment, be who you are, and give your very best at every situation. You can plan for the future, but live today as if it is your last day.
Much love,
Joseph
