The Power of This Moment

Like took a dramatic turn when I realized 
The power of living in the current moment.
Each moment presents itself as an opportunity,
To work towards my goal and fulfil my life's role.

I am making an honest attemp to live each moment in full,
For relinquishing the moment's power results in its cull.
And that's something to mull cause I don't want  a life of lull;
Where everything around is a dreary dull.

The key to success in the present,
Is to let go of the pangs of the past,
Halting all hallucinations of a hidden future;
Foçusing on the reality and wealth of this moment.

Happiness is not a big bang one off event,
But those small cherished moments each day,
That slowly but steadily accumulate and add on, 
That ultimately results in a fulfilled life.

Every experience is a step taken forward to grow.
So if things don't go your way best not to go slow,
Continue to give it your all and let your energy flow,
For you never never know when things will turn around and glow.

Suraj, Congratulations on your awesome win. Thank you so much for supporting my contest. Stop by my blog "LAST CALL" if you like. ((( note from MEakaPD Thank you ALL for waiting and chilling, while I sat on the sideline. Since March 1st, I moved to the 4th largest city in the USA (by population.) One of the hardest decisions EVER-EVER!!! I will keep short on my visits until April 1st. After that, there's no holding me back LOL -unless God has other plans. Always & Forever ~LINDA~

I have always enjoyed participating in the Any Poem contests Linda, thank you for holding them. Moving cities is a life changing event. One needs to make sure all the big and the small things fall in place, but the fun part is there is that aura of excitement around these major moves, new people to befriend and being part of a new eco system. Am sure you will settle in effortlessly into the new environment. All the very best.
