A quote from one of my favorite philosophers, Blaise Pascal, recently came to my mind as I?ve struggled with some anxious thoughts about my future.? He said:
?Let each of us examine his thoughts; he will find them wholly concerned with the past or the future. We almost never think of the present, and if we do think of it, it is only to see what light it throws on our plans for the future. The present is never our end. The past and present are our means, the future alone our end. Thus WE NEVER ACTUALLY LIVE, but hope to live, and since we are always planning on how to be happy, it is inevitable that we should never be so.?
His words are so profound ? and so true.? When it comes to?our health and?fitness goals, we?re?often planning on how we?ll be happier when the?tag on the jeans?says a certain size or the scale gets under a prized number.
Yet, I can assure you, that most of us who ?arrive? will still be unhappy with something.?
And this truth isn?t just about weight loss, but it?s true in all areas of life.
Personally, I would love to be married.? And recently I tried to get in touch with my past sweetheart ? and I?m still waiting for the response I hope for.? And so, I?ve been living in the past (reliving memories of when we were together) and in the future ? hoping it could still?work out between us.? But I?m missing living in the present and so I?m unhappy!? Sad, isn?t it?
So, how are you living ? or should I say when are you living?? ?I challenge you to live today.??And?I encourage you to be content with yourself, your journey, and all of the blessings God has given you? TODAY.
Keep this in mind and celebrate today?s successes as you still work towards future goals ? whether they be health-related or otherwise ? especially because?we have no guarantees?that we?ll even have tomorrow.
