Concentration

Concentration. The ability to focus your attention here, now, in this moment.

You see, there truly is only here, now, in this moment.
There is only the present, and most often, we are not even IN it.
We have our heads looking down at our cell phones, watching TV, doing anything else counter-productive. OR we are thinking about the past or the future!

If we are thinking about the past, we are in memory.

If we are thinking about the future, we are in automated imagination…
because our imagination is typically triggered by the past.

Our past can ruin our future…which in essence, is the present.

& Because we’re not here in the present, we miss what it means to be fully alive.

And that’s why concentration, and the practice of concentration, is critical.
