Life can be found only in the present moment.
The past is gone,
The past is gone,
the future is not yet here,
and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment,
we cannot be in touch with life.
and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment,
we cannot be in touch with life.
Our own life is the instrument
with which we experiment with the truth.
with which we experiment with the truth.
People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong.
Why not try and see positive things,
to just touch those things and make them bloom?
Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile,
but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.
but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.
The present moment is filled with joy and happiness.
If you are attentive, you will see it.
If you are attentive, you will see it.
The true miracle is not walking on water or walking in air,
but simply walking on this earth.
but simply walking on this earth.
The NOW: Eckhart Tolle
absolutely love that!!!!!!
