Nothing exists outside of the NOW. When you think of the past it is stored in the mind as a former now. And, when you think about the past, when do you do it? ? You do it now! When the futures comes ? it comes in the now. And, when you think about the future, when do you do it? ? You do it now!

All sickness is caused by denial of the present. We think problems are caused by our situations in life, but attachment to the past and future and denial of the now is the real problem.

You cannot be unhappy and fully present now. It is impossible to have a problem when your attention is in the now. When you live in the now, a situation is either dealt with or accepted now. A problem means you are dwelling on a situation mentally without having a true intention or possibility of taking action now.

All creation takes place in the now. If we really understand this truth, we will have an inexhaustible supply of usable energy.

It is our thoughts, attitudes and emotions in the moment that have power. It is not what occurred to us in the past, it is how tightly we hold on to that past. When we constantly worry and re-examine the past in order to discover what's wrong with the present, we reinforce the thoughts that will create exactly that which we are trying to escape.

Why does the mind habitually resist the now? It is because the mind cannot function and remain in control in the present moment. It only knows about your past personal history and the cumulative mind-set you inherited. In order for the mind to remain in control, it must continuously seek to cover up the present moment with the only thing it knows ? the past.

Can you be free of your mind whenever you want to? If you are constantly focusing on the past or future, you are not using your mind; your mind is using you.

Have your dwelling place in the NOW and pay brief visits to your past and future when required. Always say ?yes? to the present moment. Surrender to what is and see how life suddenly starts working for you instead against you.

The key is to LIVE in the present moment, but know that you are creating your future in this moment. What you are looking for is balance in your thinking. In other words, living in the present moment while giving thought to something you desire and expecting it.

Following our joy is not one large step, like quitting our job and spending our days sitting under a tree. That is not following our joy - that is escaping. There is a big difference between following the things that truly excite us and doing things to escape from a life that does not bring us joy.

The trick is to find, in the present moment, the things that would bring us the most excitement, and then do whatever we can to follow that excitement, even in the smallest way. This causes a chain reaction that brings us more opportunities to do what we love to do.
