The present is all you'll ever have

The present is all you'll ever have

Some of us struggle to practice presence.

We’re always thinking about the past or the future.

We think about how things were.

What could have been.

What was.

We think about how things will be.

What the future might hold.

What will be.

We ruminate over what’s behind us.

We daydream about what’s ahead.

We do so at the expense of what is.

What’s right in front of us.

Our here and now.

The pattern of discontent repeats itself.

We didn’t appreciate the past when it was the present.

We won’t appreciate the future when it’s the present.

We’re always thinking about another time.

Letting the only time we truly have, right now, pass us by.

Wishing.

Waiting.

Doing everything but living.

All you can control is here and now.

What you do with what you have where you are.

Learn from the past, but accept that you can never go back.

Plan for the future, but understand that it may never come.

The present is all you'll ever have.

Take a deep breath.

Look around you.

Explore what you’re thinking and feeling.

What you’re experiencing.

Everything about the moment.

Cherish it, as it is truly fleeting.

Do whatever you can.

Right now.

To live your best life.

To be your best self.

To make this the best moment.

It’s all you’ve got.

Right here.

Right now.

You’ve got this.

What if we simply listened?

What if we simply listened?

Allowing others to open up to us can be a powerful tool for exchanging the gift of connection. So often, though, we're too focused on responding, controlling, or judging for any connection to form. We...

Life isn't always a problem to be solved

Those we see as least worthy of compassion are often those who need it most

Those we see as least worthy of compassion are often those who need it most

Holding compassion for those we see as malicious, selfish, or otherwise unworthy may not feel right. Such characteristics, however, are often rooted in deep suffering or fear. Those we see as least wo...

Let your thoughts serve you

Let your thoughts serve you

Our thoughts make wonderful servants. They can be invaluable for reflection, forethought, and contemplation. When we accept them without question, though, we allow them to act as our masters. They can...

Make peace with your imperfection

Striving for perfection is a futile effort. You've always made mistakes and you always will. Rather than carry the burden of a reality you refuse to accept, face those mistakes with kindness and compa...
