    “Life is the moment we’re living right now.” ~ Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

      “Something wonderful begins to happen with the simple realization that life, like an automobile, is driven from the inside out, not the other way around. As you focus more on becoming more peaceful with where you are, rather than focusing on where you would rather be, you begin to find peace right now, in the present. Then, as you move around, try new things, and meet new people, you carry that sense of inner peace with you. It’s absolutely true that, ‘Wherever you go, there you are.'” ~ Richard Carlson, Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff

        Time is always now. ~ Alan Watts

          “True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.” ~ Seneca

            “To the attentive eye, each moment of the year has its own beauty, and in the same fields, it beholds, every hour, a picture which was never seen before, and which shall never be seen again.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

            Take Each Day As It Comes

              Write it on your heart
              that every day is the best day in the year.
              He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
              who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.

              Finish every day and be done with it.
              You have done what you could.
              Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
              Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
              begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
              to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

              This new day is too dear,
              with its hopes and invitations,
              to waste a moment on the yesterdays.

              ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

                “I have learned to live my life one step, one breath, and one moment at a time, but it was a long road. I set out on a journey of love, seeking truth, peace and understanding. I am still learning.” ~ Muhammad Ali

                  The clock is running. Make the most of today.

                    “Tomorrow and plans for tomorrow can have no significance at all unless you are in full contact with the reality of the present, since it is in the present and only in the present that you live. There is no other reality than present reality, so that, even if one were to live for endless ages, to live for the future would be to miss the point everlastingly.” ~ Alan Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity

                      “Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday…

                      … And all is well.” ~ J. T. Tindsley

                        “Divorce the past to marry the present and be blessed with a lovely child of future.”~Anuj Somany

                          “There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called yesterday and the other is called tomorrow, so today is the right day to love, believe, do and mostly live.” ~ Dalai Lama

                            “Only when your consciousness is totally focused on the moment you are in can you receive whatever gift, lesson, or delight that moment has to offer.” ~ Barbara De Angelis

                              “Lose not yourself in a far off time, seize the moment that is thine.” ~ Johann Friedrich Von Schiller

                                “The first rule of focus is this: ‘Wherever you are, be there.'” ~ Unknown Author

                                  “The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green earth, dwelling deeply in the present moment and feeling truly alive.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

                                    “Practice works because practice gives us a chance to relax enough to make smart choices.” ~ Seth Godin

                                      “Beginning today, I will create a new future by creating a new me.  No longer will I dwell in a pit of despair, moaning over squandered time and lost opportunity.  I can do nothing about the past.  My future is immediate.  I will grasp it in both hands and carry it with running feet.  When I am faced with the choice of doing nothing or doing something, I will always choose to act!  I seize this moment.  I choose now.” ~ Andy Andrews

                                        “When you actively engage in gradually refining yourself, you retreat from your lazy ways of covering yourself or making excuses.  Instead of feeling a persistent current of low-level shame, you move forward by using the creative possibilities of this moment, your current situation.” ~ Epictetus, The Art of Living
