Karmic Law #9: The Law of Here and Now
Be totally in the Here and Now. Do not focus on the past; let it go. Do not focus on the future; the future will create itself if you let it. Stay in the here and now; live in the present and follow the law.
Most people think this law has to do with relationships and letting go of the past, moving into the future, and staying ready for great things to come your way. As feisty ladies, we don’t like to wait! Many of us live our lives in the past (reminiscing summer vacations) or the future (dreaming of retirement) but we often forget about the most important time of all: right now!
Karma tells us that you should focus on the here and now. I find I can start to daydream when I’m on the road. This is never a good idea! The highways are more congested as many people return to work and children soon return to school, I have noticed the traffic picking up on all roads in the area. It seems that summer vacation is a distant memory judging from the tension-filled driving of teenagers and adults, many of whom drove a teeny bit slower when they didn’t have anywhere to be. One bumper sticker reminded me recently to stay in the present: “Pass me now, see you later. You are passing an ER nurse.” Sarcastic but true, I think. Slow down and pay total attention to the drivers who think that the road numbers are the speed limit. Route 99, 87, 78, 287, are road numbers, not speed limits, people!. You have to stay in the here and now, law #9, to survive driving on the roads today. Always be an “early to arrive” driver, leaving more than enough time to get where you are going.
The only thing that slows down these crazy drivers is the chance to gawk at an accident, a road assistance vehicle, or their exit approaching. Stay safe and look for me in the granny lane, feisty ladies.
