What does The Power of Now mean?
I think most people would say that it is about sacrificing today for a better tomorrow. I look into the future and see myself living the MLM lifestyle. I can drive any car I want, live in any house I want, travel to anywhere I want to go. But to have that future I have to take action now and taking that action may mean that I sacrifice. Maybe generating those leads is an unpleasant chore. Missing my favorite TV shows may be unpleasant. Having to miss some of my family time may be unpleasant. But do I want the future I have envisioned? I have seen many people here. Most decide against the future of their dreams when they look at things this way. They are not willing to give too much for the uncertain future.
What’s the point of working to create a future of joy and freedom if my present reality is just the opposite? Why should the journey have to be so bad?
If I want freedom and wealth in the future, I have to seed its creation right here, right now. The only power I have to create anything is here in the present.
I live in the now. Am I unhappy about my place in life? Chances are that I am right where I should be now based on what I did in the past. Will I love myself more in the future than I do now, once I have success? Will I be happier in the future when I can live my dream lifestyle? Probably not. I don’t think so, do you?
What if I put The Power of Now to work differently?
I love myself for what I am today but I create a plan of self improvement and act on it each and everyday. I will grow into the person I want to be while loving myself now. I control my future based on what I do today, not what I plan to do tomorrow.
I am happy today. Where I find myself today doesn’t matter. Life is a journey, not a destination. I choose to be happy now and enjoy the journey. If I were not having fun building my business, that would be a clue to me that I am not on track. Building my business is fun. I feel happy doing it. It is not a chore. I can watch my business grow and I can continually give more, serve more, and influence more people. It starts with what I can do now. I will grow.
The Power of Now
I live in the now. There used to be all these things I wanted to do when finally I have success. Why wait?
What about you? What is it that you want to do when you reach your destination? Take more time to exercise, learn a foreign language, learn to play a musical instrument, read more good books? Don’t wait. Add things to your now. Your business is your vehicle to take you on your journey. Your journey should be one filled with joy. Build relationships along the way. Relationships for life. Enjoy your growth and the growth of others in your business. Enjoy the simple pleasures.
It’s all about the journey. Living the The Power of Now. Enjoy who you are and what you have today knowing the journey ahead, you realize that it can be even better. It starts with what you do today. Each and every day. It’s the Power of Now.
The only power I have to create anything is now. What we do in this moment, this now, today, is all we control. There is no waiting for tomorrow to get started or to do more, for tomorrow never arrives. We always find ourselves at now. And our only power remains, the The Power of Now.
