“The secret is here in the present. If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it. And, if you improve on the present, what comes later will also be better. Forget about the future, and live each day according to the teachings, confident that God loves his children. Each day, in itself, brings with it an eternity.”

“Putting things off is the biggest waste of life: it snatches away each day as it comes, and denies us the present by promising the future.

What are you looking at? To what goal are you straining? The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately.”
