Dr Robert Anthony: What Is Your Relationship With Your NOW?‏

What is the most important relationship in your life?  Is it with your spouse, your partner, your lover, your parents, your friends? If you answered "yes" to any of these, I would suggest you look further. The most important relationship in your life is your relationship with the PRESENT MOMENT. More specifically, whatever form the present moment takes, that is to say, what is happening or "what is" right now.
 
If your relationship with the present moment is dysfunctional, that dysfunction will be reflected in every relationship and every situation you encounter.  All problems that we experience in life are simply a dysfunctional relationship with the present moment.
 
Once you have reached a certain level of awareness (and if you are reading this, you almost certainly have) you are able to decide what kind of relationship you want to have with the present moment.
 
Ask yourself, "Do I want the present moment to be my friend or my enemy?" The present moment is inseparable from Life so what you are really deciding is what kind of relationship you want to have with Life. Once you have decided you want the present moment to be your friend, it's up to you to make the first move. Become friendly toward it and welcome it no matter what disguise it may have.
 
If you do this, you will soon see the results. Life becomes friendly toward you, people become helpful, and circumstances cooperate with you. This one decision can change your entire reality. But you have to make that one decision again and again and again - until it becomes a new way to live.
 
Truly Caring for Your Success!
