We can only live now, this moment. We cannot erase the mistakes we made yesterday or bring back the good times we had. We cannot know what tomorrow will require of us, nor can we ensure future security and happiness. Now is what we have, and now is everything. As we focus on the present moment, we live it deeper, and we derive a satisfaction that we did not know when we were regretting the past and worrying about the future. Whatever happens, now is all I can manage and all I need. Monday, April 18, 2011
Reading for the Day
We can only live now, this moment. We cannot erase the mistakes we made yesterday or bring back the good times we had. We cannot know what tomorrow will require of us, nor can we ensure future security and happiness. Now is what we have, and now is everything. As we focus on the present moment, we live it deeper, and we derive a satisfaction that we did not know when we were regretting the past and worrying about the future. Whatever happens, now is all I can manage and all I need.

Wonderful post. Words to live by, we just have to learn how to live by them and then remember to do it.
You are a very wise one.

Glorious reading for the day, Mel!
This is one that I need to print out and read over and over again, because I know it's true, yet at times still struggle with it.
"Now is what we have, and now is everything. As we focus on the present moment, we live it deeper..."
Living in the present moment.
Amen!
Thank you for sharing, dear lady!
