At times you might entertain the idea that you want more from life. You might wish things would change and get better. You might wish for events to be over and for an old, reliable reality to kick in. But amid all you experience, the deeper realization arises that “the grass is always green.” There is no such thing as greener grass somewhere else. There is no such thing as bluer skies somewhere else. There is no such thing as a better, bigger life experience existing anywhere else but right here, right now.

In this time of a pandemic, it is clear that you have to stay completely present and maximize the potential of this moment. You do that by trusting that you always operate at your maximum level of awareness and that One Life meets you in that same awareness. When that is clear to you, wanting more is completely nonsensical.

Thinking more is somewhere other than right here and right now is a huge thought trap. These kinds of thoughts have no resolution; they can go on forever. When you get trapped in these thoughts, you get stuck in seeking and never finding. You stop enjoying the experience at hand as you look to the next experience, hoping it will exceed whatever is currently occurring. You can’t enjoy the moment if you always run ahead of it; you completely miss the potential held in the right-now moment.
