Live Now
The past is history, so let it go. The future is a mystery, so let it come. The present is this moment now - a gift. To be truly in the present today, it is useful to release all our fears (based on the past) and our worries (imagined futures) - this is the work of someone who truly wants to break free from the stuff of past yesterdays and speculative tomorrows. It begins simply - with awareness. See the fears, see the worries, look at them in the face, watch them come and go. Treat them like children on their way out to play. Let them go. There is only now - even if we are in planning mode, stay in the present and plan tomorrow, it's when we drift into tomorrow with our imagination that we experience loss of this present moment.

...It begins simply - with awareness. hmmmm. why is it so hard?
