It's funny... We as human beings are blessed with imagination; the ability to manifest all sorts of worlds, scenarios, outcomes and possibilities. Some religions and even branches of physics will tell you that these worlds in our minds might even be real. This gift, imagination, can be a curse.
The ability to manifest possible futures and the ability to relive an often distorted version of the past can simply obstruct what it is we're doing in the here and now. It keeps us from being present. It's almost as if the movie "The Matrix" were real and we live in our heads experiencing things programed in us to be real.
Imagine that we do have the ability to manufacture the future in our minds. Imagine that everyone has this ability. Never mind the details of what if two people imagine the same situation with different outcomes. The point is, if we had such abilities, wouldn't we be careful to envision the most positive scenarios for ourselves?! Wouldn't we try to quell any thought that might be negative, any thought at all negative for fear that it might actually come true?!?!?!
We need to... I need to control my mind. I need to be here. I need to be now. There is a time and place for reminiscing. There is a time and place to plan for an amazing future. When the planning is done. The present is for taking the steps toward my goals, and the present is for accepting the gifts the universe bestows upon me every second of every day (in other words, taking time to smell the roses, if I get pricked by a thorn, wonder in that too.)
