“Putting things off is the biggest waste of life: it snatches away each day as it comes, and denies us the present by promising the future. The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow, and loses today. The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately.”

“No one gets out of this world alive, so the time to live, learn, care, share, celebrate, and love is now.”

“I’ll be happy when: When I get the money. When I get a BMW. When I get this job. Well, the reality is, you never get to when. The only way to find happiness is to understand that happiness is not out there. It’s in here. And happiness is not next week. It’s now.”

“If we leave the movies of the mind behind, time can only be experienced now — moment by precious moment. Immerse yourself in the joy and wonder of every now and life will be a gift.”

“This silence, this moment, every moment,
If it’s genuinely inside you, brings what you need.”

“Each today, well-lived, makes yesterday a dream of happiness and each tomorrow a vision of hope. Look, therefore, to this one day, for it and it alone is life.”

“Where is your attention? Do you live in “the later” more than the now? Then you are trapped in your thoughts, because what is the future other than a thought in your head? Only your thoughts can make you anxious! Bring your attention to the now. Seeing, listening, breathing, feeling the aliveness inside your body. Welcome home.”
