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

Focus your attention on the Now and tell me what problem you have at this moment.

Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.

Even within the seemingly most unacceptable and painful situation is concealed a deeper good, and within every disaster is contained the seed of grace.

Forgive yourself for not being at peace.

People don't realize that now is all there ever is; there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind.

Time is the horizontal dimension of life, the surface layer of reality. Then there is the vertical dimension of depth, accessible only through the portal of the present moment.
