One moment at a time
There is nothing about the reality of this moment that can
overwhelm you. If you feel overwhelmed, it is because you
have, in this moment, given life to your disappointments of
the past, or to your anxieties about the future.<P>
Just imagine how effective you could be right now, in this
moment, if you could free yourself from those burdens. And
know that, in fact, you can.<P>
What has come before, as overwhelming as it may seem, is
over. It exists only in your memory.<P>
And what about the things that might or might not happen at
some point in the future? They have no power in this moment
other than the power you choose to give them.<P>
Instead of fighting battles that are already over, use this
moment to make the best of what is. Rather than struggling
against some imagined future, use your energy to create
real, lasting value from what is here and now.<P>
Live one moment at a time, with fullness, richness, strength
and purpose. And nothing will have the power to overwhelm
you.<P>
