Most people never learn to live in the moment Nordstrom. They are either thinking about what happened in the past or what they are wanting in the future.
You have to learn to let go of all the baggage and see your existance as it is right now without judgements.
The goal is the same for us all, the process of getting there is different for everyone. So as to how to do this I can not tell you, I can only point in the direction you need to go. Focus on now rather than the past or the future, because they do not exist.
