(Summary) We live in an eternal present.
From the moment you were born to the day you die you will only have lived in the present. Too many men today live either the past and let it dictate their lives because of trauma, baggage or life altering experiences. Too many men today live in the future world of dreams, hopes and projections and miss out on current opportunities. Too many men live their lives on autopilot and mindlessness so they miss the present. Their minds are suspended and sedated by either drugs, entertainment, technology and distractions.
Let us liberate ourselves from these illusions. The past does not exist. Only memories and situations that arose from it do. You can try to spend your present reliving the past because they were some of the best things that ever happened to you, but you must notice that every time you do that the experience gets less and less intense. It's because it becomes less and less real. The future does not exist and it is never certain. Those who have experienced loved ones be taken away by nature, accidents or war understand that the future they planned with them will never happen anymore. The future never existed to begin with.
Let us liberate ourselves from escapism. We try to run away from the present problems through distractions and technology. These distractions will short out your dopamine levels and make you addicted, making you less present every time.
Past, future or escapist experiences are inferior experiences. They can never match up to present experiences. They will never be as real as the computer or phone you are using to read this now. The will never be as interactive as the people and place you are in at this very moment. They will never be as stimulating as the girl you are fucking right now. Because you need to imagine them to experience them. You don't need to do anything to be present, except just be.
So go and put out maximum energy on what you are doing, where you are and who are you with right now
