It didn’t happen, right?

Posted on by philipdodson

That thing you worried about yesterday, or the day before or for weeks, it didn’t happen, right? Maybe you even worried about it for years.

The thing you’re currently worrying about, it won’t happen either.

The psychological fear created by the mind’s projection into the future creates anxiety, worry, and stress on a continual daily basis. We can almost become in a constant state of anxiety all caused by our thoughts of the future. The future is simply a mind construct, it doesn’t and never will exist.

If we stay more in the moment, we are less in the future and then there is a whole lot less to worry about.

Enjoy now…because it will never happen as we imagine it.

The 99% of life that we skip

Posted on by philipdodson

Our lives are made up of 99% what we are conditioned to believe are just ordinary moments. We whisk through them on the race to the next big thing.

Always searching and wanting to be at the end, at the outcome…at the next ‘big thing’.

We do not want the ordinary moment, we do not want the doing we want the ending.

Yet if we saw each so called ordinary moment as a magical real-life moment where the joy of doing is far greater than the fictional mind-created future outcome we would actually enjoy the 99% of our life that we skip and do not even notice.

Don’t wish for the 1% that we never enjoy when it does comes because we are always onto the next big thing. Instead live the ordinary magical moment, after all we are only here once.
