FULLY COMMITTED TO NOW
Why We Are Not Shown The Big Picture
Sometimes we may find ourselves wishing we knew what our lives were going to look like or what gifts and challenges were going to be presented to us in the coming months or years. We may want to know if the relationship we are in now will go the distance or if our goals will be realized. Perhaps we feel as if we need help making a decision and we want to know which choice will work out best.
We may consult psychics, tarot cards, our dreams, and many other sources in the hopes of finding out what the future holds. Usually, at most, we may catch glimpses. And even though we think that we would like to know the whole story in all its details, the truth is that we would probably be overwhelmed and exhausted if we were aware of everything that is going to happen to us.
Just think of your life as you have lived it up to this point. If you are like most of us, you have probably done and faced more than you could have ever imagined. If someone had told you as a child about all the jobs and relationships you would experience, along with each one’s inherent ups and downs, you would have become overwhelmed. With your head full of information about the future, you would have had a very hard time experiencing your life in the present moment, which is where everything actually happens.
In many ways, not knowing what the future has in store brings out the qualities you need to grow. For example, it would have been difficult to commit yourself to certain people or projects if you knew that they would not ultimately work out, yet it was through your dedication to seeing them through that you experienced the lessons you needed to grow. Looking back on your life, you would very likely be hard-pressed to say that anything in your past should not have happened. In fact, your most challenging experiences, with their inevitable lessons, may have ultimately brought you the greatest rewards.
Not knowing the future keeps up just where we need to be – fully committed and in the present moment.

A quote by Loretta LaRoche that my step-father has taught me is:
Yesterday is history,
Tomorrow a mystery,
This moment is a gift,
That is why it is called the present.
Thank you all so much for being a part of my present. I am truly grateful and abundantly blessed.
Namaste,
Lisa
