All you have is now.
The measure of our peace of mind & the measure of our personal effectiveness are determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment.
Regardless of what happened yesterday & what might happen tomorrow, now is where you are.
From this point of view, the key to happiness & contentment must be in focusing our minds on the present moment.
One of the beautiful things about young children is that they absorb themselves totally in the present moment. They manage to stay totally involved in whatever they are doing, whether it be watching an ant, drawing a picture, building sandcastles or whatever they devote their energies to.
As we become adults, many of us learn the art of thinking about and worrying about several things at once. We can allow past problems & future concerns to crowd into our present such that we become miserable & ineffective.
i am not saying being matured is bad haha.
