Seize from every moment its unique novelty, and do not prepare your joys.
Quit worrying about how everything is going to turn out. Live one day at a time; better yet, make the most of this moment. It’s good to have a big – picture outlook, to set goals, to establish budgets and make plans, but if you’re always living in the future, you’re never really enjoying the present in the way God wants you to.
Whenever we're having a great time, we're already anticipating the day when we will remember this great time. Many of us live in that unreal area between the past, the present, and the future.
Most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now.
When I find myself focusing overmuch on the anticipated future happiness of arriving at a certain goal, I remind myself to 'Enjoy now'. If I can enjoy the present, I don't need to count on the happiness that is (or isn't) waiting for me in the future".
You get caught up thinking about the future, you lose sight of the present.
I don't want to be remembered, I want to be here!
The present is great with the future.
The best gift we can have is living in the present moment and really enjoying it for what it is; and, not being in our heads and getting sidetracked.
But I dare not think too far into the future on the risk that I'll miss the present.
Living in the past or living in the future - those aren't real. The moment is now, and that's where safety and comfort and all that good stuff is.
The only real moment is now.
Why live life from dream to dream, and dread the day when dreaming ends.
Idleness is only a coarse name for my infinite capacity for living in the present.
I enjoy every moment because I believe that once we die, that's it. We're not coming back.
Why couldn't she have this, just enjoy this, without creating obstacles, digging up problems, worrying about mistakes, about tomorrow's? Why let the maybe's, the what if's, the probabilities spoil something so lovely?
I like to live in the present.
I am learning the importance of living in the moment.
I would tell people to enjoy the present moment and the journey rather than the outcome.
You have to live in your times.
I think that the present is worth attention, one shouldn't sacrifice it to future conceptions of, of this future or that future.
