Notice how you hijack your own attention and in doing so, drain your energy.  When you believe you have to wait for something to change, your focus cannot be fully in this now.  What happens from the moment you recognize your mind only ever thinks it has to catch up with an imagined vision of a balanced and fulfilled state of being? 

Notice how easy it is to get caught in webs of thought that invite you to re-examine, set goals, focus on waiting for events to happen, or or get somewhere. Notice it is never too late to shift focus.  Ease into the state of being forever present. You are this gift.

From the moment you shift your complete attention to this moment, notice what happens.  Something and nothing is waiting.  You have the impression you move from 'here to here.'  Thinking stops.  Sensations are unleashed and then revelations unfold faster than the speed of light, time and space.  Where is everybody?  As you see and recognize yourself as it is, things are no longer as they appear. True nature of everything is equal and revealing itself every instant to anyone ready and willing to see.

"Whatever you bring into this aware nothingness, whatever presents itself, frees itself." -Adyashanti
