How Does One Live in the Present?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


What does it mean to live fully in the present moment?…

It is to have one’s awareness completely centered on the here and now, not worrying about the future, not thinking about the past. To live in the present is to be where life is happening, as it happens. Both the past and future are illusions, they do not exist. Tomorrow never really comes. It is and has been a concept, always around the corner, yet around that corner are shadows, which shall remain in their place perpetually. The time is always and only now.

“The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate trouble, but to live in the moment wisely and earnestly.”
—Buddha

Why Living in the Present Will Change Your Life

If you’re not living in the present, you’re living in illusion. How often are we worrying about things that have yet to come, or beating ourselves up for mistakes we’ve made, no matter how much time has passed? If you’re living in the present, you’re living in acceptance, of life as it is now, not as how you wish it would have or could have been. When you’re living in acceptance, you realize everything is complete as it is. You can forgive yourself for the mistakes you’ve made, and you can have peace in your heart, knowing that everything that should happen, will.

“If you worry about what might be, and wonder what might have been, you will ignore what is.”
—Unknown
