Living in the present.
We cannot change the past, nor can we control the future. We can live in the moment and in the moment we have choices available to us.
Imagine there was a buffet of every food in the world. Every meat, vegetable, fruit, dairy, and dessert that you could ever want. In the moment you can take as much as you want. You can choose to please yourself in the present but, will that choice serve you in the future?
The choices we make today when living in the moment we must reflect on if they will serve us in the future. What pleases us in the moment may not serve us in the future.
An even higher level of service to ourselves is to serve others in the moment. In the future that will be the greatest service to ourselves. To serve others in the present is to serve ourselves in the future. Our choices of living in the moment today is to serve others so that we can serve ourselves in the future.
