Coming Into The Present

“You cannot find yourself by going into the past. You can find yourself by coming into the present.”

Eckhart Tolle


There’s something addictive about reliving the past.
We analyze, agonize, judge ourselves and our choices, as if rehashing them will somehow change what happened, or at least change how we feel about it.


We think about it, talk about it, write about it, obsess about it, looking for a sense of understanding and closure.

No matter how much you dwell, you will never find happiness by trying to make sense of yesterday.

True happiness is when you let go of everything in your head that obscures what’s happening in front of you.


Your attention in the moment is your life.
Live it fully today.
