Let's work on quieting our minds when they take us into future crises. Let's pull ourselves gently back to the present moment and reassure ourselves in the here and now. What's right in front of us is our responsibility- not some fantasy drama from next month, or next year.
We can't possibly know about the future so why do we try? I think it's our way to feel as if we have control over what is unknown and out there, and all of the possibilities that scare us now, or might scare us then... We create a reality where there is none, and make ourselves problem-solving heroes in the imaginary future. We try to guarantee our own safety.
But the only real safety is right where we are. In this moment, in every moment, we are equal to whatever may befall.
I stop solving problems that don't even exist yet. I stay in the moment and experience peace.
