#present

True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future.

Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens.

And if any task, whether agreeable or painful, be set before you, remember that the contest is now, the Olympic Games are now, and delay is no longer possible.

We are living in a culture entirely hypnotized by the illusion of time, in which the so-called present moment is felt as nothing but an infintesimal hairline.

Since it is in the present and only in the present that you live, there is no other reality than present reality.

Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.

The sacred is found in the unpolluted present.

The eternal present is the home of joy.

Forget the past, for it is gone from your domain! Forget the future, for it is beyond your reach! Control the present! Live supremely well now!

Rest in the sanctuary of this unrepeatable present.

Do not lament over the past; do not be anxious about the future; the wise live in the present.

Rejoice in the present hour, for life is a festival of divine beauty.

The present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive, you will see it.

Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.

Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay.

We only need to be awake, alive in the present moment.

Come back to the present moment and touch life deeply.

Do not look for the morning bird in the nest it abandoned yesterday.

A conscious man has no past and no future; he has only the present.

Hold on to the present, for it is the only thing any of us can ever lose.

A man who suffers before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary.
