“Those that live in the past are filled with sorrow, regret and wishes for better choices. Those who live in the future are filled with fear, anxiety and helplessness. Uncomfortable with the here and the now they look to the future and a better day. Unwilling to live in the here and the now they are trapped and suffering and thus repeat in a constant loop.

There is no more important time than this very moment. Our actions dictate our thoughts and our thoughts dictate our frequency. Action in this very moment sets our frequency. Rarely is there a regret for what has been done in contrast to what has not been done. It’s always the latter.”
