Robert N. Anthony Quotes

My focus, my life, my world is now. You just can't plan the future.

Your life is right now! It's not later! It's not in that time of retirement. It's not when the lover gets here. It's not when you've moved into the new house. It's not when you get the better job. Your life is right now. It will always be right now. You might as well decide to start enjoying your life right now, because it's not ever going to get better than right now-until it gets better right now!

Live neither in the past nor in the future, but let each day's work absorb your entire energies, and satisfy your widest ambition.
