Tyranny of The Possible

This moment - right now at this moment I'm doing what I'm supposed to do. I don't know where it's leading or what's next but I'm listening and following - right now. And that really is all I CAN do. Sometimes I think we try and convince ourselves that if we do this, then that will happen and so we do things anticipating a certain outcome and completely miss the moment. Because this moment's not what's important - it's the outcome that is important, right?
But what if this moment IS the outcome?
What if everything I've done in the past was all to get me to THIS moment -where I am right now - who I'm impacting today?
How cool is that? The potential in every decision, every thought is electric to me.
I will not let the tyranny of a possible future, a possible outcome negate or water down this moment. This day.
Today is so bright, I gotta wear shades!

FYI, the "Tyranny of The Possible" is one of several tyranical phenomena mentioned in Dr. Don Petcher's message to Covenant College students in "Making the Most of the Times" at the following link:
