Someone
asked me the other day, “How much time do you spend in the present? Really in the present?”
It sounded like a dumb question, at first. But then I started to
consider it more seriously.
And
I realized that – like the majority of people – most of my waking moments are
spent thinking about the past, often comparing what I believe is happening to
me right now with previous experiences, good or bad.
Or
my mind is focused on the future, either concerning myself with a situation
that may or may not come about or dreaming about the changes I would like to
see in my life.
If it’s the former, I often find myself indulging in an
irrational fear about the future.
What
was it that Zig Ziglar said about ‘fear’ and what the individual letters stand
for? 'False Evidence Appearing Real'?

So
all we really have is the present. This is the ONLY moment that we can TRULY
influence. The past is gone and the future’s still to come.
It follows, then, that we need to make
the most of every single minute… which is the subject of the free video you can
access below by the inimitable Bob Proctor.
In
it, he covers the power of the present moment, a highly effective lesson he was
taught by one of his personal mentors – the late, great Earl Nightingale – and
how we can all be much more productive, every day of our lives.
