Welcome to the present moment. Here. Now. The only moment there ever is.

Become friendly with the present moment, because if you do not become friendly with the present moment you cannot become friendly with life.

Significant things often happen when you are present. Things come to you, and then you respond to what is required. The response very often comes without a premeditated idea of what you want. It is simply a response to the situation.

You create a good future by creating a good present. How do you do that? By recognizing the goodness that is already inherent in the present moment, even in the midst of challenges. Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.

The more you make your thoughts and beliefs into your identity, the more cut off you are from the spiritual dimension within yourself.

If you cannot be at ease with yourself when alone, you will seek a relationship to cover up your unease. You can be sure that the unease will then reappear in some other form within the relationship, and you will probably hold your partner responsible for it.

When forms begin to crumble there is always an opportunity for great deepening. By deepening I mean the arising of who you are beyond form.
