The mistake we all make in life that keeps us from being HAPPY | An Inspirational Video

[Music] we live in a constant state of fear of missing out we're always thinking about what we have pending the plans the future our vision there's almost like this a Dede quality life now and especially now with social media and with all the things coming at us so fast and if you're committed to creating big results in your life you have plans you have goals but a lot of that steals time and steals moments with us and the magic is in the moment I'm here I'm all in I'm engaged with you because so many people are not present they miss out on things they miss out on life and I think that one of the biggest problems that we have is that we think that where we are isn't it this is not it and so we think that happiness or joy or fulfillment is in the future or it was in the past because then we lost it one of the things that we do is we miss out on the moment and we don't realize that happiness is right now because the only moment that we really have is this one there is no other moment the next moment is a promise the next moment is an idea the last moment is over like we live life like we have forever we live life like that's going out like there's a guarantee of tomorrow and I don't know there's another moment and so when I live life from this is the only moment I have I'm living life from urgency and so I'm living life from I may not see you again so let me be present or I may not we may not pass this way again and so when I live from the moment what I'm doing is I'm celebrating and acknowledging and I'm able to be present in it and so what stops me from from that is the guilt of the past and the anxiety of the past and the resistance of what you know I've been through afraid of going through it again embrace and accept where you are that what's happening right now is actually happening for you that what's happening right now is your benefit because as long as I'm thinking that that this relationship isn't int this moment isn't it this house isn't it this career isn't it what I'm doing is I'm putting all of my happiness on a result II being grateful for the moment that I have whether it's it could be a bad moment it could be you know an amazing moment because my happiness is up to me and so my enjoying of this moment is up to me and so when I'm able to embrace the moment and live in it than a present so many people go through people's lives and they were never present they were never there they were never connected they miss out they don't remember even conversations or you see it at funerals people like what was the last thing I said to them or was that what could I remember of them and a whole lifetime can be summed up in two conversations where there were so many moments that you were with somebody that you want present and so by not being present with the responsibilities of what I'm creating then what I do is I'm always thinking that this is not it and it should be different and then we stay stuck and then we're stuck in a situation we don't want to be in and then we're miserable about it and we complain about it but we don't do anything about it you're deciding not to decide and so you're making a choice to be in limbo which is why so many people are unfulfilled because they're not they're not doing what they want to do if you're in a career that you're not all in get out if you're not if you're in a relationship you're not all in get out be an ownership of whatever moment you're in most people are spectators they're like watching they're observing they show up to a place in the observe they go to the party and they oh I don't like the food I like the you know this is the vibes weird and then they they're in this observer mode or they show up in two situations they're lie is their life but they're a spectator what is your intention when you're sitting down with your significant other what is your intention when you go into the board meeting what is in your attention when you're talking to your employees what is your intention when you talk to your mom so what's the experience that you want to create when you're with that person accountability is love holding people accountable is saying I love you when I hold you accountable I'm saying you're capable of a bigger game and so holding people accountable to being present creates an environment of people being present and and also there's the whole thing of wanting more more more more more more money more followers more success more of whatever something hot or something brighter and we don't realize the key to joy and happiness without it right now this moment this is the moment all of those things will never bring fulfillment and don't bring people back and don't bring memories back you know some people are so on odd it's like we live on an autopilot in this moments the most important moment you have because you may not have another one you may not wake up tomorrow the plane may not land so I think that if we live we live more consciously present and be present with the people that we love express how we feel today make every moment count this will elevate people's lives [Music]
