The Savvy Snippet: Being Present
October 15th, 2007 by Cristina Favreau
People who live in the past generally are afraid to compete in the present. I’ve got my faults, but living in the past is not one of them. There’s no future in it. — Sparky Anderson
Being in the present doesn’t come easily for me, but I’m working on it. When I’m mindfully in the present, I enjoy great peace, tranquility and happiness.
As an entrepreneur, learning to be still and connected to ‘the now’ is a powerful tool. It’s where you’re responsible for the goings on of your life, proactively responding to challenges rather than reacting.
As you experience being present, you’ll discover the futility of worrying about what could happen. You’ll learn to ask “What can I do now to change where I am at this moment?“
It empowers you to make conscious change, promoting growth — which is what every entrepreneur strives for! What an incentive to practice being in the present moment more often!
