It's so easy to let a moment go by. One slipped by just as you read the last sentence. And it isn't until something drastic happens that we realize how precious each one really is.

But there's still time.

It doesn't matter how many moments have gone by, or how many moments we have left; we have this one... surrounding us, holding us. All we have to do is reach out and embrace it.

Seize it

The quickest way to grab hold of the moment is to look directly at it. Becoming aware of everything else being held in the moment - the trees, the sun, the smiling face across the way - whatever it is, is here too. Opening up and taking it all in brings us to living in the Now.

Dream it

What's the next moment going to be? Will it be one more step in the direction of our dreams, or away; into some dark abyss? All we need to set a direction is this moment and the next; the rest is beyond that in a straight line.

Control it

Own the moment. Take responsibility for being here and for going into that next moment. "I own this moment" means being in the drivers seat of Life.

Release it

Time is a wave. It's in motion and it's going whether we ride it or not. We can't actually control the MOMENT, as much as we can control the MOTION. Release the moment into the past frees us up to take on the next great moment.

Love it

We can fill each moment up with an awful lot of stuff... but like dessert, there's always a little room left over for Love.

I have been with my fiance for almost three years. We are both in college and have been engaged for a year. We are waiting to get married until we graduate in a year and a half. He stayed at school for the summer and I came to live at home. We are six hours apart and do not see each other often. We first started dating after my ex cheated on me. I was really hurt by that and Jonathan (my fiance) helped put my heart back together. Ever since I came home, my feelings have changed. I love Jonathan, but I'm having mixed emotions about everything. I can't get my ex out of my head. It's been a while since I've seen or heard from him, but he's all I think about. I love my fiance, and I don't understand why I'm having these feelings. I feel like I'm still in love with my ex. How can I be in love with two people?

Please help! I'm in emotion overload!
