Are you still thinking only about tomorrow?

Hi. How are you?

Today it has occurred to me to write about an issue to which I return again and again, I will call it the phantom thought.

Let's see, I'm sure if you got here, it's probably because something caught your attention. The photo? The title? Both?

Suppose it was the photo, it is a striking photo, full of beautiful colors, invites calm. How long have you taken to enjoy the view of the photo? Maybe less than what you want? It is likely that while you were enjoying the photo your mind was on something else, something thet didn’t allow you concentrate on what was happening at that precise moment. That which sabotages our minds is what I call the phantom thinking.

The phantom thinking is the one that does not allow us to concentrate on the present moment, it tempts us permanently to come and go from the past to the future, from the thoughts we have lived or from the events that we suppose may occur. You shall think that neither the ones nor the others have real existence beyond our memory and imagination. The past has already happened, and the only one who can know about the future is the creator.

So try not to lose a lot of your life energy thinking about what happened or what might happen. About the past think that there is nothing to look for there, nor can you recover it, nor can you amend it, so it is best to let it go. About tomorrow, think that everything that has not happened belongs to the realm of uncertainty, nobody can know what will happen after you finish reading this writing.

Invest your time concentrating on what you are doing in each moment, those are the only ones that exist.
Be alert about those thoughts that come only to sabotage what you are doing.

Thanks for your time
