What Matters Most...

Inspirational Messages by Seema M. Dewan

The past is only a "memory"....the future is only a "dream of fear".....
But the present is "everything" and you shall receive if you have the faith to be fully present in it. 

There are many possibilities when there is fear..........This can happen ........That may happen..........But then where, where will you run and go to save yourself..............How can that which has not happened yet........make you tremor in fear and make you prepare yourself for its coming..........Coming? Of course that is still an event only played by the mind..........Has it come? Will it come? And what even if it does... are you prepared to face what you have so much feared to face..................Can you be in the company of fear and yet try to prepare yourself to face that same fear? Do you believe that it makes you stronger to try to know what may be ahead and believe that it is a waste of your time to be strong at the present moment that you see right before you..........Have you not realized that even if you were to know all the moments to come what matters most is what you are this very moment.......What matters most is the faith you carry in your Self rather than the faith you carry for times to be good for you to be well and safe.............What matters most is when you know and understand that greater than any of time's gifts is the Grace of God that can in a blink change your whole world...........What matters most is when you are able to see that it is not you but your mind that wants it before you can reach it.........Your mind wants to know everything before you can experience your own strength...........Your mind wants the best before you can guide it and show it the ways of being..........The step ahead has yet to be paved...........and there is no more room for you at the step you just left behind..........What is there is where you are this very moment...........That step is sturdy.........it is rock solid.........it is where God has brought you safe and sound........Now you must be balanced at that step.........you have to be balanced in your mind.........You cannot sway here and there.... Your response to your fears will make you try to step ahead where the road is not there yet..........or it will try to take you to the road of the past that has simply disappeared..........But you know best now.......You are on the step where the moment is completely clear to you...........Whether the moment is desirable to your mind or not must not matter......What is important is you are able to recognize your Self and what surrounds you...........You are able to think for now........You are able to stand for now..........You are able to live for now..........You are able to find the peace to pray and be thankful for that now...........You are able to realize that knowing your Self.......being your Self........drawing from your Self..........expecting from your Self...........standing on your Self........cherishing your Self.........respecting your Self........and offering your Self to God is all what matters...........Nothing else matters..........The time to come is born from the "now'.........The time past is erased from the "now"........And now is the time that matters most!!!
