The Two Thieves Stealing Your Power

I made a post about presence yesterday and it seemed to hit with some folks, so I'm going to dive in again. This stuff has been really blowing my mind lately.

Check it out:

There is no future. There is no past. There is only now.

But most of us don’t live here. We exist between two thieves—regret for what’s behind us and fear of what’s ahead. These are the thieves Christ was crucified between, and they still crucify us today.

Think about it: If your past didn’t exist—if you had no mistakes to mourn, no identity to uphold—what would you do? Who would you be? And if the future weren’t a shadow hanging over you, if there were no fear of failure or uncertainty, what would you create RIGHT NOW?

The moment between those two thieves is where something incredible happens.

Presence.

Limitlessness.

A state of being that isn’t shackled by what was or what might be. And in that space, maybe we find our true selves.

So I’m asking: What would you accomplish if you weren’t bound by the past or afraid of the future? If you let yourself exist fully in this moment?
