When you have an intense contact of love with nature or another human being, like a spark, then you understand that there is no time and that everything is eternal.
Time always seems long to the child who is waiting - for Christmas, for next summer, for becoming a grownup: long also when he surrenders his whole soul to each moment of a happy day.
Now is the accepted time, not tomorrow, not some more convenient season. It is today that our best work can be done and not some future day or future year. It is today that we fit ourselves for the greater usefulness of tomorrow. Today is the seed time, now are the hours of work, and tomorrow comes the harvest and the playtime.
When you are here and now, sitting totally, not jumping ahead, the miracle has happened. To be in the moment is the miracle.
Life is a great and wondrous mystery, and the only thing we know that we have for sure is what is right here right now. Don't miss it.
Life is a succession of moments, to live each one is to succeed.
That's the funny thing about life. We're rarely aware of the bullets we dodge. The just-misses. The almost-never-happeneds. We spend so much time worrying about how the future is going to play out and not nearly enough time admiring the precious perfection of the present.
Rejoice in the things that are present; all else is beyond thee.
Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.
Living in the moment means letting go of the past and not waiting for the future. It means living your life consciously, aware that each moment you breathe is a gift.
With the past, I have nothing to do; nor with the future. I live now.
The meeting of two eternities, the past and future....is precisely the present moment.
The moment is the sole reality.
Do not worry about the past or the future. This moment needs your attention, for this is where your life exists.
Life always gives us exactly the teacher we need at every moment. This includes every mosquito, every misfortune, every red light, every traffic jam, every obnoxious supervisor (or employee), every illness, every loss, every moment of joy or depression, every addiction, every piece of garbage, every breath. Every moment is the guru.
In times of pain, when the future is too terrifying to contemplate and the past too painful to remember, I have learned to pay attention to right now. The precise moment I was in was always the only safe place for me.
It's time to start living the life you've imagined.
Whatever you want to do, do it now. There are only so many tomorrows.
I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels.
Today is our most precious possession. It is our only sure possession.
You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters?
One day, you’re 17 and you’re planning for someday. And then quietly, without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life.
We must be faithful to the present moment or we will frustrate the plan of God for our lives.
Living consciously involves being genuine; it involves listening and responding to others honestly and openly; it involves being in the moment.
For me and my family personally, September 11 was a reminder that life is fleeting, impermanent, and uncertain. Therefore, we must make use of every moment and nurture it with affection, tenderness, beauty, creativity, and laughter.
