The real gift of gratitude is that the more grateful you are,
The more present you become.
Don't let the past steal your present.
We have eternity,
Beloved.
You may have eternity,
I have only now,
But this is eternity.
The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness.
The clock is running,
Make the most of today,
Time waits for no man.
Yesterday is a story,
Tomorrow is a mystery,
Today is a gift.
That's why it is called the present.
What's being here now that's important?
There's no past and there's no future.
Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have,
Make the now the primary focus of your life.
Time is a very misleading thing,
All there is ever is the now.
We can gain experience from the past,
But we can't relive it,
And we can hope for the future,
But we don't know if there's one.
You must live in the present,
Launch yourself on every wave,
Find your eternity in each moment.
The distinction between the past,
Present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
The past is unchangeable,
So it is futile to reflect on it unless you are making sure you do not repeat mistakes.
The future is but a result of your action today.
So learn from the past to do better in the present so that you can succeed in the future.
If you want to conquer the anxiety of life,
Live in the moment,
Live in the breath.
If you are depressed,
You are living in the past.
If you are anxious,
You are living in the future.
If you are at peace,
You are living in the present.
I have realized that the past and future are real illusions that they exist in the present,
Which is what there is and all there is.
You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth,
Thinking about how you'll escape one day and how awesome it will be,
And imagining that future keeps you going.
But you never do it,
You'll just use the future to escape the present.
Never worry about anything,
Live in the present,
Live now,
Be happy.
Do not dwell in the past,
Do not dream of the future,
Concentrate the mind on the present moment.
The art of life is to live in the present moment,
And to make that moment as perfect as we can,
By the realization that we are the instruments and expression of God himself.
