To me, living in the present means being aware of your conscious choice to focus on the past, present or future - it is not necessarily having to focus on the present.

While we are focusing on fear, worry or hate, it is not possible for us to be experiencing happiness, enthusiasm or love.

Your life is the sum result of all the choices you make, both consciously and unconsciously. If you can control the process of choosing, you can take control of all aspects of your life. You can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of yourself.

Success is not in what you have, but who you are.

Anyone who wants to sell you overnight success or wealth is not interested in your success; they are interested in your money.

Success is about enjoying what you have and where you are, while pursuing achievable goals.

Stupidity trumps Machiavelli almost every time when you are looking for an explanation.
