There is one way that we are completely free. It is through our thoughts. We could have physical limitations, but our minds are free to roam wherever we want them to through our thoughts.
However, this is not the reality for most of us. Instead, our thoughts are dictated by our circumstances and the people around us. Often, circumstances are not something we can control in life.
Let’s face it, rapid changes in today’s society and feeling the need to keep up with the pace through our lifestyles only reinforces this in us. This causes stress, dissatisfaction, overwhelmed and unhappiness.
This is why we often find ourselves feeling stressed, discontented and finding thoughts pulling our focus to past or future events, rather than focusing in the present and expressing gratitude for right where we are in the present moment.
Sure, our situation might be less than perfect.
However, we can always find something to be thankful for in our lives. It immediately shifts our awareness and we become more appreciative, which raises our vibration and we start to feel better. Eventually, we notice with this change in attitude things begin to improve in our lives.
When placing our focus on the past and future, we allow ourselves to be robbed of our joy by not being in the present, which is really all that exists.
Think about this, any time you look at the clock, it is always now. It is never yesterday or tomorrow. Staying in the present is all that we can comfortably handle for an extended period of time and where we find our point of power that leads us to peace and contentment.
