"In order to live fully, you have to be present for it.... You do that by paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, and being non-judgmental. This requires a great deal of kindness toward yourself, which you deserve."-Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD

Live in the now.  For the future holds worry and the past holds regret.  We have only today to enjoy.  Mark Twain said, "I have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened."  We waste so much time and energy wanting things for the future that we think will make our life better or we worry about what looks to us like it might happen and it would cause upset-or so we think.  It is all in our mind.  We just need to believe that life holds so much to look forward to and leave it in God's hands.  Then we spend so much time looking back with regrets or resentments when letting it go and welcoming the peace that goes with that is where we need to be.  We can't change anyone else-only ourselves.  Stop living in the past-those were lessons learned.  Stop living in the future-those are needless worries.  Live for today which is all we truly have anyways.  It is a gift-enjoy it.  Peace.
