[LeadersWorkshop] ~~~~: Interesting article.. The Power of Now

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~POWER OF NOW...     "And what if the tomorrow that I take for  granted never comes? Or what if tomorrow is  my last day on earth?"    Martha, an old woman of 85, was obsessed with  thoughts like these. She lived alone in her big  apartment, surrounded by objects from her past.    She would worry all night long, getting up  to walk around, then returning to her empty bed,  turning the thoughts over and over in her mind  like a dog gnawing an old bone. She did it so  much that finally her fear turned into wisdom.    The next morning she made herself a promise.  "I am going to live each and every day as if it  were my last! That's the only way to really enjoy  life."    Now Martha reads a lot and spends (a-take out)  less time dusting old furniture. She admires the  flowers in her garden without worrying too much  about the weeds that crop up here and there.    She invites people she likes to her home, but  doesn't sit there waiting for them to arrive. And  when they do arrive, she uses her best china to  serve tea and cake, without worrying about a  precious cup or plate getting dirty or being  broken.    She's started wearing the beautiful red cashmere  jacket her grandchildren gave her for Christmas.  She even wears it to go out walking, and puts a  dab of her best perfume behind her ears.    But most importantly, Martha has stopped saying,  "I'll do that one day, when I have the time."    Now she says, "If it's worth doing, I'm going to  do it now!"  ............ ......... ......... ......... ......... ..    Like Martha, you, too, should think about what  you'd do if someone said, "This is your last day on earth!"    You would realize that priorities fall into place  naturally, that many things resolve themselves and  that whatever is superfluous in your life disappears.  Don't wait for the day when tragedy strikes to force  you to consider what it is you really want to do in  life.  "At each and every moment, the future is pressuring  the present to become the past."  Aragon -- RAJENDRA.DESHPANDE................................... .
