Being present means being all in in that moment. When you're present it means you're there distraction free. Too many people forget that all we have is the present moment. That there is no such thing as the future and that the past is now a memory. There is nothing but the now. Being in the now means you're not fearful of the future and not regretful of the past.
People are so concerned with the future that they make all these plans and feel anxiety if they aren't going according to "plan." People are also doubting the past and try to relive events or think about what if's. Their thoughts are consumed with the back and forth of "what if I had done this" or "what if I chose that" and they continue to beat themselves down with these thoughts.
The reason their is a past is so you can create it in the present. The point of the future is to create it in the present. The present is a gift (hence the names are interchangeable) that we are blessed with to create whatever we want. Thoughts are merely just thoughts and your life is based on decisions that are made in the moment. Being present is the best thing one can do, because the past and future will come regardless, so create both by using the right now moment, right now.
