Live in the now

I watch a really good movie last night on Netflix, Peaceful Warrior.

"Victor Salva directs this inspiring drama based on the best-selling autobiographical novel by college gymnast Dan Millman (Scott Mechlowicz), who had everything he could ever want -- until an injury changed his life forever. During the long recovery process, fate presents Dan with Joy (Amy Smart) and a stranger named Socrates (Nick Nolte), who unlocks a world of sage wisdom and spiritual understanding."-Netflix

This movie was very inspirational. Nick Nolte's character is almost God like, offering his words of wisdom and encouragement. After watching this movie I tried to live all day in the now, not worrying about the past or the future (things I can not change or have any control over).  While my head kept filling up with "trash" I was able to steal a few moments when I was able to just focus on the now.

I am going to continue to "take out the trash", as Nolte says in the movie, and try to live every day in the now. It's not going to be easy when I'm what some may call a worry wort, but you can't reach great wisdom and spiritual understanding if you don't try to 'take out the trash'.
