There are times when it’s good to look back at our past, such as when we call to mind great memories. Then there are times when it’s good to look at the future, such as when we make wise plans. But the most important time in any life is the present moment. Past moments have gone, future moments have yet to be, but the present moment is always available. If the present moment is handled well, both memories and futures will be better. Practice being in the moment. The most important moment in your life is the one you are in now. The most important decisions are those you are making now. The most important observations are those you are making now. The most important thoughts are those you are thinking now. The most important person is the person you are with now. Practice living in the now, and the future and the past will take care of themselves.
