I recently read Eckhart Tolle's book, A New Earth: Awakening To Your Life's Purpose. I think we are all looking for the purpose of our life. We are always wondering "'why am I here?". At least I am. Eckhart Tolle is a brilliant spiritual teacher. He has so many messages but one of his biggest that I learned in this book as well as in other psychotherapy modalities is the "power of now". Staying focused on the present moment is a challenging lesson that everyone would receive benefit. I see so many people who are so focused on yesterday or tomorrow that they forget about today. They forget about Right Now. Challenge yourself to stay in the "now". Focus on immersing yourself as much as you can in your life today. You'll be surprised. That upcoming meeting or event that may consume worries may actually not be so important after all. What's important is right here, right now!
