Now

It is so so true..why are we always chasing the past? Not treasuring the present, you will always be chasing the past
-------------------
On the surface it seems that the present moment is only one of many, many moments. Each day of your life appears to consist of thousands of moments where different things happen. Yet if you look more deeply, is there not only one moment, ever?

Is life ever not this moment? This one moment, now, is the only thing you can never escape from. The one constant factor in your life. No matter what happens. No matter how much your life changes. One thing is certain. Its always now.

Since there is no escape from the now, why not welcome it, become friendly with it.

When you make friends with the present moment, you feel at home no matter where you are. When you don't feel at home in the now, no matter where you go, you will carry unease with you.
The present moment is as it is, always. Can you let it be?

The division of life into past, present and future is mind made, and, ultimately, illusory.The past and future are thought forms, mental abstractions. The past can only be remembered Now. What you remember is an event that took place in the Now and you remember it Now.

The future, when it comes, is the Now. So the only thing that is real, the only thing that ever is, is the Now
