For example, if you desire for your life to be different, you can use the present moment to read this book, as you are doing right now. Once you are done reading, you can use the present moment to take some action or behave in a way that might lead to the life you desire. Then, after a while, you may spend a present moment appreciating the life that you now have. This is the power of managing your time wisely, and focusing your mental and physical energy on the present, rather than the past and future.
As your life moves on, and you spend each moment in a purposeful and reasonable way, those moments get added on to your past, and you are given another present moment to spend. Though at first, your past may have been regretful, or sad, it becomes more positive with each passing second of time well spent.
