1. Living in the Moment

When I was at the beginning of my 20s I had a vision about how my life should be over 10 years. I should have a
lovely husband, at least one child, a beautiful house, a great job that I love and of course we should live happily
never after. Guess what… About three months it’s my 30th birthday and none of these things happened! Ok ok, I
have a nice apartment, but that’s it. Al these years I spend my time at how my life would be in the future and at every
birthday I was disappointed that none of that vision happened. At that time, I didn’t see how great my life was.
Honestly, I wasn’t really happy with my life, because my focus at the future, my vision, didn’t come true. Year after
year. That’s how I started reading books and look at inspiring videos. I got little by little more interested in
mindfulness. I always was a defeatist, it brought me into a negative spiral over and over again. But now I’m much
more positive and happier with my life since years.
How I got to this point? Actually it’s really simple. Just by ‘living in the moment’! It’s the key to a happier life. When I
discovered the Six Figure Mentors it gave me purpose and a way to live my life on my own terms. It’s a spiritual
community with fantastic people on it, they can help you to think much more positive and start your own business,
so you have more time to spent on fun stuff. Sign up here and see it for yourself what they can do for you.
Why living in the moment can guide you to a happier life
Thoughts have the power to repeat in your head, over and over again. Until YOU decide to let them go. Everything
you can’t do, change or decide about, there’s no place for it in your reality now. Let it go, live here-and-now, see
what you can do at this moment, tomorrow is another day.
There’s less space to worry about things
If you focus on what happens now, you don’t have to worry
about your future. When you worry about your future, all kind of
scenarios will past by in your head and they won’t help you
further. Silence will bring you closer to yourself. Away from the
opinions of other people, expectations and your own ego. You
always know what’s good for yourself. Listen to your intuition,
there you will find your answers.
Do not focus on possessions
A big house, a big car, a better television etc. is a great purpose
to have in your life, but it won’t give you that fulfilled feeling.
Because there will always be a bigger house, a bigger car and
a better television than you already have. Life gives you that
fulfilled feeling when you live your life with joy and happiness. If
you’re happy with yourself and your life, you will attract all these
things automatically to you.
Bring your own luck! You can find happiness within yourself, not at other places outside yourself. Happiness is your
own responsibility, nobody else is. Some circumstances won’t make you happy, but take that as a lesson and turn
that situation into something good. Everything has a reason.
Air and space
Do you have a busy life? Or do you make it busy for yourself? A busy agenda ensures you a busy feeling and you

2. will act at it too. Air and space brings lightning in your life. Don’t try to do everything on your own and don’t be a
perfectionist, that’s just not possible for a normal person. Try to focus on what you’re doing right now and leave
everything else for later so than you can totally focus on that part. It gives you the opportunity to breath and feel
much more calm. Don’t stress, be happy! You won’t be productively when you do much more at one day. You will be
productively when you are creative. And your creatively needs more air and space.
The only way to success is to stay in the moment. You can’t work on your body, finances or relationships of
tomorrow. Tomorrow is another day, it’s a day that has to come yet. Decide to work on your priorities of today and to
live totally in the moment.
Every experience is a lesson, good or bad. Try to figure out what’s important to you and focus on that!

Live here-and-now and have a happy life!
