It's Not All About Tomorrow

I read this morning that “Life is all a preparation for something better to come.” I disagree. While it is very true that everything I do today builds the foundation for my tomorrow just as everything good and bad that has gone before has brought me to this exact place and time, I can not agree that LIFE is all preparation. Life is living in the moment. Sure preparations must be made for the future, what I do today determines my tomorrow, and I must be open and willing to the changes I need to make today so that I can be of maximum service to God tomorrow. But I also need to be of service today. Life is now, not tomorrow. If I spend all my time focusing on the future I can not enjoy the moment I am in, the moment God has given me as the only point in time that I can truly experience. I can not experience full serenity while trying to focus on any moment other than the one I am in at this instant. This is not my saying, but I believe it to be true…if I have one foot in the past and one foot in the future, all I can do is piss on today. No thank you. I want to live. Life is about Now. If I do the next right thing and let God determine my everything now, today, then I have no need to worry about the future, tomorrow will take care of itself.
