The present moment is all you ever have.

You are not separate from the whole. You are one with the sun, the earth, the air. You don’t have a life. You are life.

Most humans live in the mindset that this moment is only important because it's getting them to the next one.

I had been anxious and depressed for years and suddenly I was deeply at peace.

Look around the room a few times a day as if you had just been born into that room.

Even running to catch a train or a taxi, you can enjoy the high energy of the moment.

The mind is essentially a survival machine. Attack and defense against other minds, gathering, storing, and analyzing information - this is what it is good at, but it is not at all creative. All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness.
