A Journey To The Farthest Distances: Yesterday n Tomorrow

Are you living in the present?


If your answer is yes then you have nothing at all to worry about. But the rest of them fall prey to the mysterious time.


Do you find yourself either idling over the past or worrying about the future? Can you sit for hours on end all alone doing nothing but just thinking? Do you keep regretting over the mistakes of the past?


If your answer to most of the above questions is an inevitable 'yes'...then you are almost close to giving up your life...
                            
 “The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.” – Buddha


The past cannot be changed as we have already gone through it...The future is something which hasn't happened yet... both the past and the future are illusions. Only the present is a reality. If you are living in illusions then you are not a part of reality and if you are not a part of reality, then you can never be a part of the future you envision.
Because it is in the reality where you get to put your efforts for a better tomorrow.Procrastination is also an illusion coz tomorrow never comes for the simple reason that it doesn't exist today.


But fortunately, with a little effort everyone can learn to live the present.Always remember that the mind is the only thing that determines where we live: either in the past, present or the future.If the mind seems to get out of your control then try and observe your breath for a while because when you do this you'll know that breath is something that is helping you live the present.It helps you connect with reality.


And finally, it is neither the past nor the future that makes you what you want to be: It is the present. Accept life as it is and you'll appreciate the change you notice in your life.Don't let anything stand in your way to a more successful and happier life...
