Hi,
this is what I've come to realize. The LOA requires you live now, that means in the present. Future and past do exist only in your mind. To be able to act like you're wealthy while on broke means you only consider the present.

But, this is so difficult for me. I can't help myself as a student. I wake up in the morning, take a glance at my schedule and this happens: thoughts of future. "We will have math test on thursday", "I must submit my report by midnight tonight", "I've not finished my essay yet", etc. A person that lives in the present would say "YOU think you'd have math test...", "YOU think that the report is due by midnight", "YOU think that you've not finished [this one is quite complicate, don't you see?]". Yes the test can be cancelled, the report due can change, etc. But, it's still difficult for me. Even speaking of it reminds me of the 9 math thursday quizzes remaining

and my essay 2.1, 3.0, 3.1 and 4, etc.

Should I remove the schedules I've scothed on my wall? What if I don't graduate in less than 3 years as I've planed? What if I can't get my gf to come here live with me? What if my job application doesn't succeed?

I can't help bad-thinking about the future
