Your Point of Power is in the Present

People say that I have been living in a fantasy world, that I am either entrenched in the past or fantasizing about the future. They say "Come down to earth!"

I want to have a life that is meaningful and productive; I want my life to make sense, but I don't know how. All I can see is a bleak landscape that doesn't look anything like what other people see. How do other people do it anyway?

Sometimes we get so entrenched in failure that our thoughts are only of times when things were good (or bad), and we are basically stalemated outside of time and space. The ONLY way to change our lives is to realize that the only time is NOW and the only place is HERE. If we delay, then we are once again avoiding reality and living in a fantasy world. If the event is a reality, the only time that it can occur is now. If we use the excuse that the situation is not perfect, that we have to wait until (some state of perfection is reached), then it is just another way of copping out.

The only way to change your life is to get with it NOW! Once you start to DO, your state of BEING changes, and you can DO more and more and BE more and more. It's a snowballing state of mind; each action creates more confidence and with more confidence, you can DO more and more!

Maybe you are a list-maker, and that is what you have always done... make lists and then never actually get to DOing the things on the list. If a behavior is not working for you, stop doing it!

Every time you actually get out and do something you have been avoiding, you will feel stronger and better about yourself. If you have always done the easiest thing on your list, do the hardest or worst thing NOW! It will make you feel VERY powerful!
