Theodore Isaac Rubin Quotes

The best way to prepare for any moment in the future is to be fully conscious in the present.

Work hard for your goals and live in the moment.

It's all about the journey, not the outcome.

My friend, the sufi is the friend of the present moment. To say tomorrow is not our way.

Don't put off joy and happiness. Strive to live each day to its fullest, squeezing all the joy you can out of each moment. Instead of measuring your life's value by your progress toward a single goal, remember that the direction you're headed in is more important than temporary results.

I guess the only way I could describe myself is someone that lives right in the present.

We can call this "the progress principle": Pleasure comes more from making progress toward goals than from achieving them. Shakespeare captured it perfectly: "Things won are done; joy's soul lies in the doing."

Quit worrying about how everything is going to turn out. Live one day at a time; better yet, make the most of this moment. It’s good to have a big – picture outlook, to set goals, to establish budgets and make plans, but if you’re always living in the future, you’re never really enjoying the present in the way God wants you to.

Looking for happiness is a sure way to sadness, I think. You have to take each moment as it comes.

To make money, to gather knowledge, to learn a new skill, to explore new territory, even to get from A to B - for all these things you need time. For almost everything you need time, except for one thing: to embrace the present moment.

I'm trying to be present, not thinking and worrying about the past or the future. That's such a waste of time, you know?

If your attention is focused only on the result, then you are no longer in the process. But if you're in the process, then the result is guaranteed.

We need to learn to live in the here and now; this moment is the best moment. Live it fully.

So for a period of time each day, try to sit, without moving, without expecting anything, as if you were in your last moment. Moment after moment you feel your last instant. In each inhalation and each exhalation there are countless instants of time. Your intention is to live in each instant.

The only thing that is ultimately real about your journey is the step that you are taking at this moment. That's all there ever is.

Act in the moment, live in the present, slowly slowly don't allow the past to interfere And you will be surprised that life is such an eternal wonder, such a mysterious phenomenon and such a great gift that one simply feels constantly in gratitude. So this is my message for you: live in the moment, herenow. That's why I call it divine purity

Each minute we spend worrying about the future and regretting the past is a minute we miss in our appointment with life - a missed opportunity to engage life and to see that each moment gives us the chance to change for the better, to experience peace and joy.

The fact that I am standing there and washing bowls is a wondrous reality. I'm being completely myself, following my breath, conscious of my presence, and conscious of my thoughts and actions.

Find the journey's end in every step.

I felt that I was really living in the moment. I did not know where my life was going, but right now the future did not trouble me.

Happiness is the ultimate goal. It is the goal of all other goals.

Some people say it is hard to live in such a way, being completely one with the present moment. Of course, it is not hard. The opposite is hard. Not being one with life is hard, and that is how most people live.

And though some days it is very hard, I try not to live for the future. And I try not to dream of the past.
