In What Direction Are You Moving?

The great thing in this world is not so much where we are, but in what direction we are moving.
--Oliver Wendell Holmes
Sometimes we tend to get caught up in where we are right this minute. But of course we know that where we are is merely a result of our past thoughts and actions.

We may like where we are. We may not like where we are. It doesn't really matter. It is still a result of our past thoughts and actions.

Let me remember to be aware of, and thankful for, the direction in which I am moving. That is what being in the "now" is about. I can only control NOW what I am thinking about NOW, not what I did 5 minutes, 5 days, 5 weeks, 5 months, 5 years ago.
