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.

When you want to arrive at your goal more than you want to be doing what you are doing, you become stressed.

You are not 'in the now;' you are the now. That is your essential identity-the only thing that never changes. Life is always now. Now is consciousness. And consciousness is who you are. That's the equation.

Accept the present moment without judgement.

So one could say that the only real problem is dysfunctional thinking, the rest are challenges, not problems.

Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at the moment.

Being must be felt. It can't be thought.
