Mark Victor Hansen Quotes

You don't have to wait for something 'meaningful' to come into your life so that you can finally enjoy what you do. There is more meaning in joy than you will ever need. The 'waiting to start living' syndrome is one of the most common delusions of the unconscious state.

Every man's life lies within the present; for the past is spent and done with, and the future is uncertain.

The right time is always right now.

In any weather, at any hour of the day or night, I have been anxious to improve the nick of time, and notch it on my stick too; to stand on the meeting of two eternities, the past and future, which is precisely the present moment; to toe that line.

People who live in the now; those people make things happen.

The only time you ever have in which to learn anything or see anything or feel anything, or express any feeling or emotion, or respond to an event, or grow, or heal, is this moment, because this is the only moment any of us ever gets. You're only here now; you're only alive in this moment.

People create success in their lives by focusing on today. It may sound trite, but today is the only time you have. It's too late for yesterday. And you can't depend on tomorrow. That's why today matters. Most of the time we miss that.

There is only one time that is important -- NOW! It is the most important time because it is the only time hat we have any power.

It sometimes seems that we live as if we wonder when life is going to begin. It isn't always clear just what we are waiting for, but some of us sometimes persist in waiting so long that life slips by - finding us still waiting for something that has been going on all the time. . . . This is the life in which the work of this life is to be done. Today is as much a part of eternity as any day a thousand years ago or as will be any day a thousand years hence. This is it, whether we are thrilled or disappointed, busy or bored! This is life, and it is passing.

The only dream worth having, I told her, is to dream that you will live while you're alive and die only when you're dead.

The passing moment is all we can be sure of; it is only common sense to extract its utmost value from it.

If we get the good that belongs to us here and now, we must extract the sweetness of each passing minute while it is ours. That is the real art of living in the today.

You can either waste time worrying about a death that might not come or concentrate on what’s left to you.

Learn from the past, set vivid, detailed goals for the future, and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now.

Life is too short to just go through the motions.

Live today. Not yesterday. Not tomorrow. Just today. Inhabit your moments. Don’t rent them out to tomorrow. Do you know what you’re doing when you spend a moment wondering how things are going to turn out with Perry? You’re cheating yourself out of today. Today is calling to you, trying to get your attention, but you’re stuck on tomorrow, and today trickles away like water down a drain. You wake up the next morning and that today you wasted is gone forever. It’s now yesterday. Some of those moments may have had wonderful things in store for you , but now you’ll never know.

Make the best of every moment. We're not evolving. We're not going anywhere.

life is the moment we're living right now.

There'll be time enough for counting when the dealing's done.

The only time you'll ever have is now.

Best to take the moment present as a present for the moment. . .

Today is life-the only life you are sure of. Make the most of today.

Today is our most precious possession. It is our only sure possession.

There's only one day at a time here, then it's tonight and then tomorrow will be today again.
