being a patron is your way of making this show possible. Hi everyone do you have a cup of coffee or your hot drink today we're going to be

talking about wishing is a thief of being You can also look at this video of the same name on my

YouTube channel. I hope you're all well. Do you ever have a moment of self-realization. Sometimes we have those moments in our

life during which we have an epiphany. Does that have happened to you? In the last couple of days I realized, I truly realized

that when we wish for something, we do not sit in the present moment. We are essentially stealing time from our authentic self and giving

this time to our egoic self. When we look towards the future rather than sit in the present, we lose the amazing

opportunity to leave, to leave now. Because now is all we have and when we wish for tomorrow or next week or next year we

still today and then we still tomorrow and the next day.

It is so important to walk in each step, to breathe in each breath and to notice each sunset.

To notice each sunset. Do you sit in the present? Do you experience each moment that

life presents us with or do you look back in time? Or wish forward in time? It's challenging, isn't it? I find

it really challenging. I find myself distracted by the manic existence that I live. To truly sit in the present takes

dedication and, yes you guessed it, practice. Ah but it's so worth, because it is only in the present that we can find happiness.

Much loved to all of you.

Okay, go and get your capper and let's begin.
