The Power Of Now
Whenever I think about the best time to do something I remember that everything we do now is for our future. No one understand the power of the now than the Author M.B. Ray, who encouraged us to:
"Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and and melting like a snowflake."
Be present, it is the only moment that matters! When I think of this moment melting away as quickly as a snowflake I'm inspired and motivated to do more with it than simply watch it disappear. Now is the time to make something beautiful and lasting for ourselves and others--starting this instant.
Below are quotes from Eckhart Tolle on the Power of now that I want you to ponder on :
1. " Any action is often better than no action, especially if you have been stuck in an unhappy situation for a long time. If it is a mistake, at least you learn something, in which case it's no longer a mistake. If you remain stuck, you learn nothing."
2. " Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life."
3. " 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."
4. " All negativity is caused by an accumulation of psychological time and denial of the present. Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry - all forms of fear - are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of nonforgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence."
5. " As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins to flow with joy and ease. When you act out the present-moment awareness, whatever you do becomes imbued with a sense of quality, care, and love - even the most simple action."
6. " Nothing has happened in the past; it happened in the Now. Nothing will ever happen in the future; it will happen in the Now."
For more on his thought about Now get to read his book, The Power of the Now.
