11 Living In The Present Moment Quotes To Improve Your Well-Being

 /   /  
We all know what is past is past. What it is gone, it is gone forever. The future is yet to come. The only time we have is the present moment. To be precise, NOW.

The problem is we live on auto-pilot most of the time. We just let the present moment slips through our life, while our mind is either too busy dwelling on the past or straining toward the future.

One good way to learn how to live mindfully in the present is through mindfulness meditation.

It is an ancient Buddhist practice, which one is trained to intentionally focus on our daily experience. It is not easy to do it. One easy way is to concentrate on your breathing, to keep your mind from distractions.

When we desire something or someone, our sense of longing deep inside us get all excited by the anticipation or the thought of the item or person. That drives us to take actions to achieve our goal.

Life Is Short Memorable Quotes To Remind You To Seize The Day

 /   /  
As we all know life is a sum of each passing moments. That is why we should cherish every moment that we still have.

Once it is gone, it is lost forever. So seize the day, before life seizes it away from you. It's time to to live mindfully and consciously.

Do things you love, enjoy the wonders of the world and live your life to the fullest.

As philosopher Seneca said life is not short. It is sufficiently long enough to allow us to accomplish of the very greatest things if it is well invested.

 But instead we squander in luxury and carelessness; devoted to no good end. Then by the time  we realized,  time has passed away.

He also said that by 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.

The biggest hindrance to living is expectancy. It hangs upon tomorrow, and loses today. What we should do is to live immediately.

We spend our lives forgetting the present moment, constantly occupying ourselves with planning the future and worrying with anxiety over its impermanence.

In Danish existentialist philosopher Soren Kierkegaard's book "Either/Or: A Fragment of Life", he wrote about that one of our source unhappiness is fleeing away from our own lives.

"The unhappy person is one who has his ideal, the content of his life, the fullness of his consciousness, the essence of his being, in some manner outside of himself. The unhappy man is always absent from himself, never present to himself. But one can be absent, obviously, either in the past or in the future. This adequately circumscribes the entire territory of the unhappy consciousness." - Soren Kierkegaard (The Unhappiest Man)

11 Quotes About Keeping Hope Alive To Keep Us Going

Hope can be what we called wishful thinking or to expect with confidence. This optimistic attitude of mind that relies on an expectation of positive outcomes is an essential emotional life tool to keep us alive.

1. Their future will be better than the present.
2. They have the power to make it so.
3. There are many paths to their goals.
4. None of them is free of obstacles.

Lopez says that optimism is an attitude. But hope is both the belief in a better future and the action to make it happen.

We may be a realist or pessimist, yet when something that is important to us, we will still take action hoping or expecting some kind of positive results.

mark twain quotations on life, honesty, age, kindness and other topics
Ernest Hemingway said: "All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn. American writing comes from that. There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since."

Mark Twain is also known for his keen wit and incisive satire. You can find thousands of quotations by Mark Twain.
