Live in the Moment

So my wife just read me this really cool passage out this book called The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. It had something to do with acceptance. Not accepting others beliefs, not accepting your short comings, not even accepting you life as it is. More specific than any of those things. ACCEPT THIS MOMENT. Wow! You wouldn't think we would need to be reminded of that. It's like a George Carlin euphamism; you never thought about it, but when you hear it, it is so true you can't believe you didn't think of it yourself.

This moment is exactly as it should be; a culmination of every moment of your life leading up to it. To fight it would be to fight the power of the universe, the will of God, karma, first cause, or whatever else you believe causes things to be the way they are. Regarless of your faith and philosophy on life (or lack thereof) it is an important remider to all of us to accept the THIS moment and work (in whatever way our beliefs guide us) to shape the NEXT.
