Abraham-Hicks, from the workshop in Tarrytown, NY on Saturday, October 9, 2004
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!
Abraham-Hicks, from the workshop in Silver Spring, MD on Saturday, May 11, 2002

…this moment… is the only physical reality you have.
from Real Magic by Wayne Dyer (about Wayne Dyer)

from The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz
You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.

A day dawns, quite like other days; in it, a single hour comes, quite like other hours; but in that day and in that hour the chance of a lifetime faces us.

When you become silent, there is no agenda. You are not seeking anything. You are being silent and present with what is present, simply because the present moment is the truth of life and it is enough. You are just being here now, fully open and present with what is here now with you. You are not seeking or desiring anything outside of the present moment. God exists IN the present moment. God exists AS the present moment. By being willing to be fully present in the moment, you honor God, and so God will respond to you. It is that simple.
The Daily Guru
Only when your consciousness is totally focused on the moment you are in can you receive whatever gift, lesson, or delight that moment has to offer.

Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are… Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in my pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return.
Mary Jean Iron

Elizabeth Gilbert, from her biography of naturalist Eustace Conway

Dwell not on the past. Use it to illustrate a point, then leave it behind. Nothing really matters except what you do now in this instant of time.

Eileen Caddy
When we let go of yearning for the future, preoccupation with the past, and strategies to protect the present, there is nowhere left to go but where we are. To connect with the present moment is to begin to appreciate the beauty of true simplicity.
