Just right now, this moment that I am typing these words, is the first moment of the rest of my life; it could be wonderful without regretting for the past or worrying for the future; the present is in our hands, do not ruin it.
Great post. It reminds me of a quote I copied: I believe that only one person in a thousand knows the trick of really living in the present. Most of us spend 59 minutes an hour living in the past, with regret for lost joys, or shame for things badly done (both utterly useless and weakening) - or in a future which we either long for or dread. Yet the past is gone beyond prayer, and every minute you spend in the vain effort to anticipate the future is a moment lost. There is only one world, the world pressing against you at this minute. There is only one minute in which you are alive, this minute - here and now. The only way to live is by accepting each minute as an unrepeatable miracle. Which is exactly what it is - a miracle and unrepeatable. ~Storm Jameson, novelist, 1891-1986
