Think Like an 80 year old & like a baby

Before I get into today’s article, Let us consider a human’s life starts when he is born and ends when he dies, with a typical life span of 80 years :)

Now I have a question, Does "Present" really exist or is it just that moment which we call as "Present"?

The present year is 2016, every year before is your past and after becomes your future. Same would apply when you consider the month, the day, the hour and lastly the second, every second which has ticked is your past and every second which has yet to tick is your future.

What are you doing at this moment? Right now your are reading this post. Whatever you have read till this point (.) is the past and whatever you are going to read after this point (.) is the future. So my question is, does present really exist or is it just that moment (the point)? If you consider present as the moment, everything before becomes the past and everything after becomes your future. I think that is why most of the people are always thinking only about their past and future because span of both future and past is very high compared to present which is just a moment.

Just try to observe a 1 year old child, they are generally positive. Why??? They are living in the present because they just had 1 year of past and long future which they are unknown of. Now a 79 year old person is generally positive. Why?? because they understand that they had a past which they cannot change and only 1 year of future ahead. Now think of a person who is aged 40, just in the middle, will find it very difficult to stay positive because they have 40 years of past and 40 years of futures to think about :) So what is the difference between a 1 year old, 40 year old & 79 Year old? They have a different span of past & future which is influencing their present moment.

Now your next question would be? How do you fix the past & future span problem?

It is tough but let me tell you a secret. You have to change your mindset and reduce the span of both ‘past’ and ‘future’. When future is bothering you, think like a 1 year old and when you think about your past, just think like a 79 year old. When you do that your whole life come to the ‘present’ moment and generates positive energy. There is another part to this about how to be at the present which i will share with you later.

Present is where we have to focus as it is the creator of our past and our future.

You cannot change your past
You cannot change your future
You can change what you do at present
That will change will your past & future.
Focus on your present and live a positive life!!!!
