The future is only a thought form. Work with the present moment. Be with what is.

The future does not exist, because nobody has ever experienced it. You can only ever experience a present moment.

The Now is as it is because it cannot be otherwise. What Buddhists have always known, physicists now confirm: there are no isolated things or events. Underneath the surface appearance, all things are interconnected, are part of the totality of the cosmos that has brought about the form that this moment takes.

Something inside you emerges....an innate, indwelling peace, stillness, aliveness. It is the unconditioned, who you are in your essence. It is what you had been looking for in the love object. It is yourself.

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have. Make the Now the primary focus of your life.

No matter how long your journey appears to be, there is never more than this: one step, one breath, one moment... Now.

People are amazed to realize they can enjoy the moment rather than be stressed by it when hurrying to an appointment. You can enjoy the energy movement of the moment when you do not have a mental projection of a future moment you need to get to. You still know that you need to get there, but it is the secondary consideration.
