To a certain degree it is, but there are subtle and important differences.</p>\n<p>Einstein said: &ldquo;I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.&rdquo;</p>\n<p>To live in the &ldquo;now&rdquo; is much more a personal thought process than focusing on<span id=\"more-3666\"></span> a specific task.</p>\n<h2>To Live In The Moment Is The Key To Less Worry.</h2>\n<p>Of course this doesn&rsquo;t mean you won&rsquo;t worry about certain things. We humans do have a tendency to worry about things anyway. Reducing this worry is really a good thing, so ask yourself some questions:</p>\n<p>How often do you think about things you did in the past?</p>\n<p>Do you dwell on past events that you have no control over and can do nothing about?</p>\n<p>Are you worrying about what &ldquo;might&rdquo; happen in the future if you do something? You may be playing the &ldquo;<a href=\"http://ift.tt/1OKbhjF\">what if</a>&rdquo; card again. Thing is, if you don&rsquo;t do the thing you&rsquo;re thinking about, you won&rsquo;t ever know will you?</p>\n<p>The message here is to stop worrying about things you have no control over or what &ldquo;might&rdquo; be. Live NOW and just DO IT! After all, you can only succeed or fail. Either way you have learned something.</p>\n<h3>&ldquo;Going To&rdquo; Is Not A Phrase To Live For Now</h3>\n<p>Are you in a phase of &ldquo;I&rsquo;m going to do this (or that)&rdquo;? I know I have been guilty in the past of being in this unproductive and procrastinating phase. In fact, I still say this. Difference is, I pinch myself and tell myself to stop delaying and get the job done!</p>\n<p>So, if you say &ldquo;I&rsquo;m going to write that blog post series&rdquo; or &ldquo;I&rsquo;m going to start to do videos&rdquo;, if you have 30 minutes right there and then, instead of going to make that coffee (or tea), make a start on it and COMMIT to it NOW! That is being in the moment and a real way of getting past the &ldquo;I&rsquo;m going to&rdquo; phase.</p>\n<p>This isn&rsquo;t a focus issue, but it is a life issue. If you have a tendency to procrastinate or make excuses like &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t have time&rdquo;, then what is the point in thinking about it?</p>\n<p>Simple &ndash; because we can all have &ldquo;<a href=\"http://ift.tt/1jjddBi\">good intentions</a>&rdquo;.</p>\n<p>Thing is, good intentions don&rsquo;t get the job done or do anything to move us forward.</p>\n<p>The most important thing is to do what comes to you when it&rsquo;s fresh in your mind. This is even more important when you have some time to do it straight away.</p>\n<p>&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t put off until tomorrow what you can do today&rdquo;.</p>\n<p>The future will be here before you know it and all your &ldquo;gonnas&rdquo; will still be hanging around and doing nothing for you.</p>\n<p>Living in the moment may well be similar to <a href=\"http://ift.tt/1OKbhzS\">focusing on the present</a>, but ultimately it&rsquo;s not the same.</p>\n<p>To the future (via today)</p>\n<p>Barrie Evans</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://ift.tt/1jmah83\">Come join the mentoring group and be guided by one of the world&rsquo;s top marketers.
