The Present

Successful companies are always forward thinking. They are consistently looking at their goals and finding out the smartest and fastest ways to make them happen by working on it today. They don’t let the hope of the future stop them from working on the business today. Likewise they don’t sit around focusing on failures of yesterday. Think of Donald Trump, at one point he was billions of dollars in debt, had bad business deals left and right and virtually lost all of his daddy’s money. He could have chosen to sit around and play the poor me game. Instead he turned it around, working one day at a time, focusing on what he could do today to change things and look at him now.
Successful companies know, the more they focus on today, the faster they will get to tomorrow.
Sometimes, in marriage, we tend to either look at what he or she didn’t do or what we are afraid they will do and that thought process only stops us from living in the now.

People who spend their time focusing on the past are always more depressed. Likewise those who only focus on the future of what could be, live in a state of anxiety. The only way to truly live and exist in your marriage is to live in the today.

There is nothing you can do about either the past or the future. Changing the past is as impossible as controlling the future.

Live your life in the NOW and remember.

In the movie Evan Almighty, with Steve Carrell, Evan is upset when God has given him a task of building an Ark. At one point Evan is venting his frustration and says, "But I had all these plans for my life." At this, God starts to laugh at Evan. Saying, "You had all theses plans" and continues to laugh.
It is a great illustration of the saying "Man plans; God laughs."

You have to get to a point where life is a day to day experience. Learn from the past, don't live in it.

Hope for the future, don't try to control it.

As Master Uguei in Kung Fu Panda say's, "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift. That's why it's called the Present."

Embrace your marriage day to day. Make everyday a day to renew your love for one another.
