"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment." - Buddha
I should write this on my hand and read it every morning. I've been spending too much time dwelling on the past. It's difficult not to swing the gun around and aim for the future. Make plans... that's what I tell myself. But to concentrate on the present moment, that is not so easy. I am impatient. The here-and-now is not happy. Instead, it is merely going through the motions and marking another day off the calendar.
So... how do I make this day, this present moment, what I want it to be? Okay, first the question "What do I want on this day?" There's a saying, "If you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there."
I don't know. As soon as I figure this out, I'll get back to you.
