Live in the Present

 

The past is important only as a lesson. Never allow yourself regret.
Planning for the future is essential, but that planning must occur in the present.
Worrying about the future serves no purpose.
Focus all your energies on living Today.
 - Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Yesterday is ashes.
Tomorrow is green wood.
Only today does the fire burn brightly.

Do not dwell in the past,
do not dream of the future,
concentrate the mind on the present moment.
- The Buddha

There is only one time that is important - NOW!
It is the most important time because
it is the only time that we have any power.
- Leo Tolstoy

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.
- Alan Watts

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.
