Living In The Present Moment

Present Moment by OlivIreland

Living in the present moment can seem like a bitch sometimes. 

We love to change it or ignore it and hope it just goes away which is why we turn to the past – and it was never that great! – or worry ourselves sick about the future.

Basically, anything will do as long as it's not NOW. But guess what folks, the present is all we have. Right now, this very second is all we have. We do not have anything else, you feel me – this is it!

Thich Nhat Hanh's guide to life is Smile, Breath and Go Slowly which is probably difficult for most of us. However, it is something to aim for, isn't it. I like it; how about you? 

And how about to take it a bit further:
