What is in the way of you living a continusously Peaceful and Loving Life?
The Power of Now
So being present becomes more and more the exercise the older you get.-Paul M. Glaser
Realize that now, in this moment of time, you are creating. You are creating your next moment. That is what's real.-Sara
Paddison
Being in the moment involves giving maximum appreciation and love to your present experience.-Sara Paddison
In every moment, we each have a choice to be loving. Making an inefficient choice will not only affect us adversely, but
can negatively affect those around us — as well as the planet. The most caring choice is love!-Doc Childre
Heart presence is about having more of your real self show up in each moment. It's about being mentally, emotionally,
and physically present in the heart. We often put so much energy and focus on how we "present" ourselves - the way
we appear, what we wear,what we say, what car we drive. If we put a fraction of that energy into how we present ourselves
to ourselves on the mental and emotional levels, we can greatly reduce anxiety and increase our vitality.-Doc Childre
Most of us have experienced the buoyancy and satisfaction that positive emotional states can create in our lives. At such
moments of buoyancy, our effectiveness at big tasks and small improves almost effortlessly. Positive emotional states produce
that effect because of the coherence they create within the human system.- Doc Childre
We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us to the fact that each moment of life is a miracle and mystery.-H.
G. Wells
If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself but to your own estimate of it; and
this you have the power to revoke at any moment.- Marcus Aurelius
Yesterday is a cancelled check; Tomorrow is a promissory note; Today is the only cash you have, so spend it wisely.-Kim
Lyons.
Never part without loving words to think of during your absence. It may be that you will not meet again in life.- John
Paul Richter
There are fine things which you mean to do some day, under what you think will be more favorable circumstances. But the
only time that is surely yours is the present, hence this is the time to speak the word of appreciation and sympathy, to do
the generous deed, to forgive the fault of a thoughtless friend, to sacrifice self a little more for others. Today is the
day in which to express your noblest qualities of mind and heart, to do at least one worthy thing which you have long postponed,
and to use your God-given abilities for the enrichment of someone less fortunate. Today you can make your life - significant
and worthwhile. The present is yours to do with as you will.- Grenville Kleiser
What avails it that indulgent Heaven
From mortal eyes has wrapt the woes to come,
If we, ingenious to torment ourselves,
Grow pale at hideous fictions of our own?
Enjoy the present; nor which needless cares
Of what may spring from blind misfortune's womb,
Appal the surest hour that life bestows.
Serence, and master of yourself, prepare
For what may come; and leave the rest to Heaven.
- John Armstrong
'Tis but a short journey across the isthmus of Now.-Christian Nestell Bovee
Shakespeare says, we are creatures that look before and after; the more surprising that we do not look around a little,
and see what is passing under our very eyes.-Thomas Carlyle
It is children only who enjoy the present; their elders either live on the memory of the past or the hope of the future.-Sebastien-Roch-Nicolas
de Chamfort

Above the night, clear shines her prescient brow;
The pendulous star in her transfigured hands
Lights up the Now.-Mary Clemmer (Mary Clemmer Ames)

before.-Dwight David Eisenhower
This time is a very good one if we but know what to do with it.-Ralph Waldo Emerson
This time, like all other times, is a very good one, if we but know what
to do with it.-Ralph Waldo Emerson
We can see well into the past; we can guess shrewdly in to the future; but that which is rolled up and muffled in impenetrable
folds is today.-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Try to be happy in this present moment, and put not off being so to a time to come,--as though that time should be of
another make from this, which has already come and is ours.-Thomas Fuller
Devote each day to the object then in time, and every evening will find something done.-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Duty and to-day are ours; results and futurity belong to God.-Horace Greeley
Abridge your hopes in proportion to the shortness of the span of human life; for while we converse, the hours, as if envious
of our pleasure, fly away: enjoy, therefore, the present time, and trust not too much to what to-morrow may produce.-Horace
(Quintus Horatius Flaccus)
Busy not yourself in looking forward to the events of to-morrow; but whatever may be those of the days Providence may
yet assign you neglect not to turn them to advantage.-Horace (Quintus Horatius Flaccus)
Shun to seek what is hid in the womb of the morrow, and set down as gain in life's ledger whatever time fate shall have
granted thee.-Horace (Quintus Horatius Flaccus)

a distance, imagination paints
it as desirable.-Samuel Johnson

of the past.-James Russell Lowell

young than to me, and to-morrow
belongs to no one.-F. de Mancroix
The word 'now' is like a bomb thrown through the window, and it ticks.-Arthur Miller
This moment is a flower too fair and brief.-Thomas Moore
Let any man examine his thoughts, and he will find them ever occupied with the past or the future. We scarcely think at
all of the present; or if we do, it is only to borrow the light which it gives, for regulating the future. The present is
never our object; the past and the present we use as means; the future only is our end. Thus, we never live, we only hope
to live.-Blaise Pascal
The present will not long endure.-Peter Pindar
Make use of time, if thou lovest eternity; know yesterday cannot be recalled, to-morrow cannot be assured: to-day is only
thine; which if thou procrastinate, thou losest; which lost, is lost forever: one to-day is worth
two to-morrows.-Francis Quarles
Look upon every day, O youth, as the whole of life, not merely as a section, and enjoy the present without wishing through

It we stand in the openings of the present moment, with all the length and breadth of our faculties unselfishly adjusted
to what it reveals, we are in the best condition to receive what God is always ready to communicate.-Thomas Cogswell Upham

Till it gives its blessing.-John Greenleaf Whittier
