present

Present-moment living, getting in touch with your ''now,'' is at the heart of effective living. When you think about it, there really is no other moment you can live. Now is all there is, and the future is just another present moment to live when it arrives. One thing is certain, you cannot live it until it does appear.

The concept of boredom entails an inability to use up present moments in a personally fulfilling way.

If you are carrying strong feelings about something that happened in your past, they may hinder your ability to live in the present.

You cannot expect to achieve new goals or move beyond your present circumstances unless you change.

All personal breakthroughs being with a change in beliefs. So how do we change? The most effective way is to get your brain to associate massive pain to the old belief. You must feel deep in your gut that not only has this belief cost you pain in the past, but it's costing you in the present and, ultimately, can only bring you pain in the future. Then you must associate tremendous pleasure to the idea of adopting a new, empowering belief.

Losers live in the past. Winners learn from the past and enjoy working in the present toward the future.

In the past we have had a light which flickered, in the present we have a light which flames, and in the future there will be a light which shines over all the land and sea.

If we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall find that we have lost the future.

What is love? 'tis not hereafter; Present mirth hath present laughter.

Each present joy or sorrow seems the chief.
