Be Present

"If you want to be happy, be."
--Leo Tolstoy

"With the past, I have nothing to do; nor with the future. I live now."
--Ralph Waldo Emerson

The past and the future have a way of sometimes robbing us of the present. It is in the present where we live, so when that happens we are really being robbed of life itself. Always live in the present, keep you mind and your focus in the present and on the present task at hand. Pay attention and focus on the people you are with now, not the people you were with yesterday or the people you may see tomorrow. You can be aware of the yesterday and tomorrow, but you must focus on today. Every "today" offers you a unique chance to live out your dreams.
