Today I am being reminded that our present moments create our future. Someone who I have been blessed to have entered my life has taught me that "today" is what counts. "Today" is where my thoughts and my intentions really matter. He frustrates me, because one day he seems to be one place and the next day another, but ultimately, does that matter? No, because if he has his peace, then he is doing something very right.
And I recognize that while I have made mistakes moment to moment, every moment is in reality a blank slate. So maybe last night I had a moment that could have negatively impacted my morning today, but I didn't propagate it, and now it's like last night never even happened. This is the miracle of recovering from past traumas.
It might sound confusing, but in reality it is the most basic and reassuring way to live. I no longer am depraved, I no longer need salvation - I just need to live in the moment and remember that my past mistakes don't make up my present self, and that I can really change my direction with one mere step. And eventually, I'll have taken enough steps that I arrive at a destination where I really want to be.
