"Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have."

— Eckhart Tolle

I really like reading Eckhart Tolle and enjoy his concepts relating to spirituality. It was Tolle that presented duality to me in a form that made sense. Within me are two different people at work, one consciously, the other not!

The quote above is stating the obvious; but then, how often do we really think about the obvious.

I lived, and deal with too many others that have at least one foot firmly planted in the future and many others who dwell on the past. I’ve learned the hard way that this is not living the way life can be lived; joyously in the moment.

To learn to live in the "now" was not an easy process. To deal with my past, garbage and all took work and required the help of some very knowledgeable people. I am often reminded that my mind can easily slip back to the past. The only good the past provides is a history lesson to learn from.

I do plan for the future. Plan is the operative word. I believe that there will be a future and some preparation for it is required. But there is a huge difference between planning and living.

I do realize very deeply that the present moment is all I have, and at this present moment I am enjoying getting the thought’s and reminders brought about by Tolle’s quote from inside to outside. A trait that I have learned, I live as best as I can in the moment and with gratitude and it is this way of living I try to share with all who want it.

If you are not enjoying life and at times feel a sense of fear, resentment and the "little black cloud" over your head; if you regret your past and are not looking forward to tomorrows with positive anticipation, I’d welcome a chat with you!

You have right now!
