“When you do what's important now for you, you create a past that leaves you ready to handle the present. By default, the future is taking care of itself as you make decisions that are acceptable to you no matter what happens tomorrow.”

“You cannot do what's important now for you if your mind cannot accept what is happening in this present moment.”

“The present is what is happening when you strip away all the resentments of your past and all the worries you have about your future.”

“When you are living in the present, you know what's important now for you and you act on that knowing.”

“...as long as you are motivated by the approval of others, you cannot know with confidence whether the decisions you are making in your life are what's right for you...”

“When you are present, you are not needy.”

“To live in the present, you need to act or accept but never stay stuck.”
