Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have. Make the Now the primary focus of your life.
You will follow me, if we are what we are, you and I, if we live, if the world exists, if you know the meaning of this moment and can't let it slip by, as others let it slip, into the senselessness of the unwilled and unreached.
Being fully present isn’t something that happens once and then you have achieved it; it’s being awake to the ebb and flow and movement and creation of life, being alive to the process of life itself.
Had they known at these moments to be quietly joyful? Most likely not. People mostly did not know enough when they were living life that they were living it.
Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it?
You can't think about presence, and the mind can't understand it. Understanding presence is being present.
