“Instead of fearing the future, I should live and enjoy the present, she told herself.”

“In the future, I'll be braver, she told herself. In the future, I will always speak my mind, eloquently, passionately.”

“The secret of happiness is to enjoy the moment, without allowing unhappy memories or fear of the future to shadow the shining present.”

“Living in present without regrets in the past and fear in the future...”

“Hope had finally learned to live in the present. Often, when she found herself in a space of tremendous comfort, usually out in nature, or when her children were safe all around her and on the verge of going to bed, she forced herself to take stock. Here you are, Hope, she told herself. What a beautiful moment. You may never again be here at this spot, enjoying the calm. This habit of hers, to acknowledge the immediate and elusive joy of the present, kept her sane.”
