How often do you allow yourself to just embrace where we are now? Most of us are always trying to get somewhere—usually because the grass always seems greener on the other side. However, in truth, the only thing that is real is right now and it has so much to teach you, if you would stop looking backward or forward. Today it is time to surrender to where you are right now. To stop looking for what comes next, and look for the lessons that you need to learn before you can move forward. Today, recognize that you can reap tremendous benefits from the practice of staying present and seeing what lessons can be learned from right where you are. When you master the challenges of where you are now, you can move with ease into the next challenge or what’s next, knowing that you feel strong and empowered in doing so. Today, set your intentions to become the master of this present moment.

Just for today, I am not a helpless victim to my thoughts. But, rather a master of mind. I recognize that my point of power is always in this present moment. I claim that power now and consciously create all that is good in my life. In this present moment, I am safe, I am divinely guided and protected. And, out of this situation only good will come. And so it is.
