Me, me, me! Mine, mine, mine! I'm right, I'm right, I'm right. What's in it for me? How do I use this? How do I take advantage of it? This is the way of the ego. Own this within yourself and you will begin to release yourself from it.

In Presence, there is no outcome. It is our involvement in the outcome that keeps us imprisoned in an imagined future. In Presence, there is only now.

Awakening is about liberating yourself from the prison that is the world of the mind and daring to be here as all that you are.

When you are present, you are transcendent of the mind and ego and so you can witness your mind and ego. You can be conscious of your thoughts without being lost in them when they arise.

It's not them, it's you. It's not there, it's here. It's not then, it's now.

If you’re truly present in this moment, then you are a Buddha. At least for this moment!

Projecting into the future with hopes, dreams and desires can never fulfill you. Only the present moment can fulfill you.
