“Letting go of our need for control opens us up to the wonders that exist in our lives right now. When we start to have fears about what will happen, we automatically catapult ourselves out of our lives and start mentally fretting over something that may never actually happen. Once we realize that we can never be in charge of the future and that by holding onto a future fantasy we are more likely to be frustrated, however, it will become much easier to fully engage in what we are doing in the present — living in our lives instead of in a daydream. Being present today will bring your focus to the moment and will give you a greater feeling of well being about your life as it is seen.”
