Now
"The past is history, the future is a mystery, and this moment is a gift. That is why this moment is called "the present"" (Deepak Chopra, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success)
The only time you will ever have is now. Right now. This very instant.
Do you know why it's called the present? Because it's a gift. So the biggest gift you can give yourself is to be in this moment.
Live in the present, because all fear and all anxiety comes from taking the past and putting it into the future. It's based on your past experience. That's where your fears come from. But what you're afraid of is what might come. You're afraid of what might happen in the future.
So stay in the present. That is the gift.
The book: The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra.
