Idleness is only a coarse name for my infinite capacity for living in the present. ~ Cyril Connolly
Living In The Present quotes by Cyril Connolly
Sometimes we let our thoughts of tomorrow take up too much of today. Daydreaming of the past and longing for the future may provide comfort but will not take the place of living in the present. This is the day of our opportunity, and we must grasp it ~ Thomas S. Monson
Living In The Present quotes by Thomas S. Monson
If you're living in the present...you only have to deal with what's actually going on in that moment. ~ Sheri Van Dijk
Living In The Present quotes by Sheri Van Dijk
It is when you are really living in the present-working, thinking, lost, absorbed in something you care about very much, that you are living spiritually. ~ Brenda Ueland
Living In The Present quotes by Brenda Ueland
God is life. God is life in action. The best way to say, "I love you, God," is to live your life doing your best. The best way to say, "Thank you, God," is by letting go of the past and living in the present moment, right here and now. Whatever life takes away from you, let it go. When you surrender and let go of the past, you allow yourself to be fully alive in the moment. Letting go of the past means you can enjoy the dream that is happening right now. ~ Miguel Ruiz
Living In The Present quotes by Miguel Ruiz
Enjoy today, the time you have now, for time cannot be found only lost. ~ Marty Rubin
Living In The Present quotes by Marty Rubin
I don't think you go out of style when you're living in the present most of the time. And I think that is what I do. ~ Shirley Maclaine
Living In The Present quotes by Shirley Maclaine
Every instant of our lives is essentially irreplaceable: you must know this in order to concentrate on life. ~ Andre Gide
Living In The Present quotes by Andre Gide
The egoic mind imagines a problem, and then it imagines a solution. When we get caught up in these thoughts, we feel like we have a problem that has to be solved before we can be happy. But the problem is just imagined! When we drop out of involvement with these thoughts and into the simple experience of the present moment, we discover that everything is fine just the way it is. Life never had to be any different than it is, nor do we. We can be the "imperfect" human we are. In fact, we weren't designed to be anything other than the human being that we are. ~ Gina Lake
Living In The Present quotes by Gina Lake
Suffering needs time. It cannot survive in the now. ~ Eckhart Tolle
Living In The Present quotes by Eckhart Tolle
Life is happening at this very moment; it is not behind us or before us. The past is full of memories and future is full of expectations. ~ Debasish Mridha
Living In The Present quotes by Debasish Mridha
I want to do a good job living today. ~ Katerina Stoykova Klemer
Living In The Present quotes by Katerina Stoykova Klemer
Like butterflies, we evolve; but as Beings of Light we continuously evolve when we are fully present. ~ Michelle Cruz-Rosado
Living In The Present quotes by Michelle Cruz-Rosado
Learning how to recognize and act on your Inner Knowing is the greatest tool for discovering what's important now by living in the present. ~ John Kuypers
Living In The Present quotes by John Kuypers
People have reflected on the quality of time ever since they've been writing. I suppose I have thought about and written about the question of living in the present - but it only lasts for an instant, and then everything becomes the past. The future, you know nothing about, except for some anticipations you have. ~ James Salter
Living In The Present quotes by James Salter
In any weather, at any hour of the day or night, I have been anxious to improve the nick of time, and notch it on my stick too; to stand on the meeting of two eternities, the past and future, which is precisely the present moment; to toe that line. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Living In The Present quotes by Henry David Thoreau
Make life easier by living in the present and believing in the future. ~ Jonas Eriksson
Living In The Present quotes by Jonas Eriksson
Darkness holds eternal sway over he who cannot first find the light within himself. ~ Melissa McPhail
Living In The Present quotes by Melissa McPhail
Creative power flourishes only when I am living in the present. ~ Brenda Ueland
Living In The Present quotes by Brenda Ueland
The best way to say, "I love you, God," is to live your life doing your best. The best way to say, "Thank you, God," is by letting go of the past and living in the present moment, right here and now. ~ Miguel Angel Ruiz
Living In The Present quotes by Miguel Angel Ruiz
Nothing cuts a neural route faster through the brain then a pinch of pain. Periods of unhappiness penetrate and scar the brain. Experiencing intense periods of unpleasantness incites us to grow. If we can bunt the destructive forces of extreme pain and embrace its forceful impact for its educational value, experiencing profound pain causes us to appreciate the pleasure of simply living in the moment, enjoying each blade of grass in nature's glorious bouts of beauty. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Living In The Present quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
To live in the present, you need to act or accept but never stay stuck. ~ John Kuypers
Living In The Present quotes by John Kuypers
It sounded, I told him, as if he had never learned to balance projecting goals into the future with appreciating and living in the present.
...
To the extent that our goal is to "prove" ourselves or ward off the fear of failure, this balance is difficult to achieve. We are too driven. Not joy but anxiety is our motor.
But if our aim is self-expression rather than self-justification, the balance tends to come more naturally. We will still need to think about its daily implementation, but the anxiety of wounded self-esteem will not make the task nearly impossible. ~ Nathaniel Branden
Living In The Present quotes by Nathaniel Branden
We do not ignore maturity. Maturity consists in not losing the past while fully living in the present with a prudent awareness of the possibilities of the future. ~ Thomas Traherne
Living In The Present quotes by Thomas Traherne
But I realize now that the art of living in the present is not so much controlling time, it's losing track of time. This is most likely to happen when we surrender to something we love to do: not because it's a demand, or an emergency, or an inability to do anything else. Seeking out what we love so much that we lose track of time when we're doing it - that goes beyond Einstein's theory and puts us into his life. He loved his work so much that he had to be careful while shaving; otherwise, he cut himself when a spontaneous idea struck. That is a hint of the timeless Now. ~ Gloria Steinem
Living In The Present quotes by Gloria Steinem
We choose to live life to the fullest because it is in our best interest to do so. - Charmainism ~ Charmaine Smith Ladd
Living In The Present quotes by Charmaine Smith Ladd
Letting yesterday affect today will only destroy the excitement of tomorrow. ~ Michelle Cruz-Rosado
Living In The Present quotes by Michelle Cruz-Rosado
I understood that the attachment to myself and my image ... was actually taking me away from my self, away from this wonderful opportunity to just sit, just breathe, just feel the warm animal of my body, just feel the soft, sultry heat of June. The density of my attachment was making it impossible for me to have a truly satisfying experience of life in my body just as it was in the moment. When under the sway of this obsession, my mind's attention was always in the fantasized future, or the idealized or devalued past - never present to the reality of the moment. ~ Stephen Cope
Living In The Present quotes by Stephen Cope
If you are depressed you are living in the past.
If you are anxious you are living in the future.
If you are at peace you are living in the present. ~ Lao-Tzu
Living In The Present quotes by Lao-Tzu
For every moment that is past, the angel of death keeps taking the part that is dead and we keeping living in the present. The parasite wants us to carry the past with us and that makes it so heavy to be alive. ~ Miguel Ruiz
Living In The Present quotes by Miguel Ruiz
I'd rather be on the ground than under
To feel the heavy rain and the thunder. ~ Ana Claudia Antunes
Living In The Present quotes by Ana Claudia Antunes
Find comfort in little things and joy in unexpected moments. ~ Holly Elissa Bruno
Living In The Present quotes by Holly Elissa Bruno
Living in the present moment creates the experience of eternity. ~ Deepak Chopra
Living In The Present quotes by Deepak Chopra
What's wonderful about life is you always have to start over. No many how many meals you've eaten, words you've spoken, breaths, you've taken, you always have to start over. ~ Marty Rubin
Living In The Present quotes by Marty Rubin
I often feel like nobody," Skip says. "I ask myself: Why would you want to talk to me? Why would anyone want to talk to me? It comes on me suddenly, this feeling that I'm not anything...a person who has spent a lot of time in bed, who doesn't want to be anything."

I know what he is talking about, and this time, I tell him that. For years, I could not understand why anyone took me seriously. I could not understand how I managed to get into MIT or Harvard, why anyone would offer me a postdoctoral fellowship or a job. I could not understand why people kept turning to me after September 11. I didn't see myself as a person who couldn't get out of bed, but as a salesgirl in a coffee shop - the job I had as a teenager who was afraid to apply to college. My identity was stuck there for year.

"Inside me there is the person who wants to be dead," he says. "I can't advocate for myself. I can advocate very strongly for others, but not for myself...Sometimes I'm not sure that I exist. Is this really me - this person whom people want to consult about clergy sexual abuse? Or am I really the person who can't get out of bed? I've gotten better - I spend more of my time living in the present. But it takes a lot of effort to stay in the present - a lot of yoga and meditation. (195) ~ Jessica Stern
Living In The Present quotes by Jessica Stern
Cherish like a son, a daughter, each irreplaceable moment. ~ Marty Rubin
Living In The Present quotes by Marty Rubin
Your past doesn't actually exist. What you think is your past is a tiny blip of electricity in your brain happening right now. And if that's happening now, what's actually happening right now isn't really happening for you at all. This is what it is meant when people say, live in the present. ~ Dan Pearce
Living In The Present quotes by Dan Pearce
He would come to feel that history, even more than memory, distorts the present of the past by focusing on big events and making one forget that most people living in the present are otherwise preoccupied, that for them omens often don't exist. ~ Tracy Kidder
Living In The Present quotes by Tracy Kidder
You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present. ~ Jan Glidewell
Living In The Present quotes by Jan Glidewell
Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what it was in nostalgia, nor forward to what it might be in dread or anticipation, but living in the present relationship and accepting it as it is now. ~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Living In The Present quotes by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
i am not oxytocin but i will try to become, because I am Live In oxytocin Society ~ Sushil Singh
Living In The Present quotes by Sushil Singh
You have trouble living in the present, so you linger on the past because you feel like you never really lived it ~ Ben Stiller
Living In The Present quotes by Ben Stiller
When you are living in the present moment, you will experience a deep sense of inner joy, peace and awareness. ~ Christopher Dines
Living In The Present quotes by Christopher Dines
Living in the land of, "What if ... ?" leads to emotional paralysis. It sets the stage for doom and gloom thinking. It prevents us from experiencing the beauty of the present moment. Happiness resides in the here and now. It can not thrive in a prison of the past or in the worry of future outcomes that may or may not, happen. We need to trust that we have the divine wisdom within ourselves and through the support of others, to climb the treacherous terrain this human existence brings. It is worth the struggle. The view from the top is extraordinary. Onward and upward! ~ Jaeda DeWalt
Living In The Present quotes by Jaeda DeWalt
Don't waste your time dying over the past, spend it living in the present. ~ Saim .A. Cheeda
Living In The Present quotes by Saim .A. Cheeda
Living in the present is the way to go. ~ Renee Marino
Living In The Present quotes by Renee Marino
When you love someone, you do not love them all the time, in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. It is an impossibility. It is even a lie to pretend to. And yet this is exactly what most of us demand. We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships. We leap at the flow of the tide and resist in terror its ebb. We are afraid it will never return. We insist on permanency, on duration, on continuity; when the only continuity possible, in life as in love, is in growth, in fluidity - in freedom, in the sense that the dancers are free, barely touching as they pass, but partners in the same pattern.

The only real security is not in owning or possessing, not in demanding or expecting, not in hoping, even. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what was in nostalgia, nor forward to what it might be in dread or anticipation, but living in the present relationship and accepting it as it is now. Relationships must be like islands, one must accept them for what they are here and now, within their limits - islands, surrounded and interrupted by the sea, and continually visited and abandoned by the tides. ~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Living In The Present quotes by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
While I principally agree with the NOW movement I also challenge their thinking to a degree. There are plenty of exceptions to the being-present-rule. I have for example worked with cancer patients who were going through very trying times in their therapy, and they couldn't stand to think about the present moment, they needed to envision a better future or remember an enjoyable time from their past to feel slightly better. The present moment was simply a torment. This can be true in a number of other situations where the present moment is simply too awful and painful to intently focus on. ~ Gudjon Bergmann
Living In The Present quotes by Gudjon Bergmann
What's wrong with knowing what you know now and not knowing what you don't know now until later?"
- Winnie the Pooh ~ Walt Disney Company
Living In The Present quotes by Walt Disney Company
Pyschoanalysts are fond of pointing out that the past is alive in the present. But the future is alive in the present too. The future is not some place we're going to, but an idea in our mind now. It is something we're creating, that in turn creates us. The future is a fantasy that shapes our present. ~ Stephen Grosz
Living In The Present quotes by Stephen Grosz
I've spent most of my life perfecting the craft of living history. I have no practice at living in the present. ~ Leila Sales
Living In The Present quotes by Leila Sales
To learn from the past is good, but to live there is a waste. To plan for the future is good, but to live there is a waste. You are happiest and most productive in life when you are living in the present. ~ Kenneth H. Blanchard
Living In The Present quotes by Kenneth H. Blanchard
Tomorrow is tomorrow.
Future cares have future cures,
And we must mind today. ~ Sophocles
Living In The Present quotes by Sophocles
To him, even the momentary was momentous. ~ G.K. Chesterton
Living In The Present quotes by G.K. Chesterton
Accept the past as the past and realize that each new day you are a new person who doesn't need to carry old baggage into the new day with you. It's amazing how many people ruin the beauty of today with the sorrows of yesterday. Yesterday doesn't exist anymore! For example, if ever I feel foolish or guilty about something I've done, I learn from it and attempt to do better the next time. Shame or guilt serves no one. Such feelings actually keep us down, often lowering the vibrations of those around us, as well. Living in the present moment is the recurring baptism of the soul, forever purifying every new day with a new you. ~ Alaric Hutchinson
Living In The Present quotes by Alaric Hutchinson
I'm living my future as long as you're living in the present and realize how beautiful life is. ~ Dhani Jones
Living In The Present quotes by Dhani Jones
Past and future both require a functional mind to exist. Only the present prevails independent of mind – independent of life. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Living In The Present quotes by Abhijit Naskar
When his hand came down across my bottom the first time I thought I was going to die. But the pain passed, transmuted as if my some alchemical wizardry, and for a moment I experienced a surreal satisfaction in being bent over in this way without rights or choices, past or future. In pain you are living in the present and as the pain passes there is pleasure from having endured the pain. ~ Chloe Thurlow
Living In The Present quotes by Chloe Thurlow
The problem with fantasy is the greatest benefit of fantasy: it prevents us from living in the present moment. ~ Geneen Roth
Living In The Present quotes by Geneen Roth
We show our animal nature by not living for the future, and our human nature by not living in the present. ~ Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Living In The Present quotes by Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Make every day count ... Even when you think it's the worst day of your life; for you never know when it'll be your last. ~ Solange Nicole
Living In The Present quotes by Solange Nicole
A spectator would conclude that I was living in the past. But I was very much living in the present. My present. ~ Fennel Hudson
Living In The Present quotes by Fennel Hudson
The way is yours for the asking - the way is yours for the taking. The way is as it should be. ~ Karen Hackel
Living In The Present quotes by Karen Hackel
We fall back into the past, we jump ahead into the future, and in this we lose our entire lives. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Living In The Present quotes by Thich Nhat Hanh
The beauty of this day doesn't depend on its lasting forever. ~ Marty Rubin
Living In The Present quotes by Marty Rubin
If you're in your 20s now, by the time you're 75, you'll be able to live 'til you're 150. By the time you're 150 you'll be able to live 'til you're 300. See you at your 1000th birthday party! ~ Neil A. Hogan
Living In The Present quotes by Neil A. Hogan
You can't let your past define your future. Once you get that figured out, you begin to understand the joy of living in the present. And the present is full of tiny gifts that we can only see when we stop looking behind and ahead of us. Sometimes, these gifts land right at our feet. Sometimes, it's our feet that carry us toward them, running at full-speed until our hearts nearly give out. Either way, never stop noticing them, and never stop wishing. ~ Cassia Leo
Living In The Present quotes by Cassia Leo
The only treasures we keep are our experiences...never stop traveling, exploring, living in the present moment!! ~ Aniket Ketkar
Living In The Present quotes by Aniket Ketkar
To me, living in the present means being aware of your conscious choice to focus on the past, present or future - it is not necessarily having to focus on the present. ~ Bo Bennett
Living In The Present quotes by Bo Bennett
And let me tell you something else, my friend," she said in the precise enunciation of a trained nurse talking to a worried patient. "It is all very easy for a man to talk about living in the present. Much more so than for a woman, who is liable to get knocked up higher than a kite every time the man enjoys himself in the present. Thats one thing I dont have to worry about, thank God. But there are a lot of others: such as what I am going to do when my husband kicks me out and then my lover throws me over when he has to support me, and me not being trained for anything but to be somebody's wife and having to do all my politicking and achieving and gain what little success I can by getting behind some stupid man and pushing him. ~ James Jones
Living In The Present quotes by James Jones
For me, it's too late,
Don't suffer my fate.
I once walked the earth
Inert to life's worth.
Routine, my shield,
I loathed foreign field.
Too late did I wake up
To drink from life's cup.
Be bold in life,
Do not shun strife.
Soon you will be here
And lost, all you hold dear. ~ Alpha Four
Living In The Present quotes by Alpha Four
You said that you would've taken back that day if you were given a chance. But I ask you why? All things happen for a reason, right? We don't understand the details of our lives because we're so busy living day to day. We need to take a few steps back and take the whole picture in. ~ Amy Astorga
Living In The Present quotes by Amy Astorga
Memories are painful and beautiful; wisdom is wonderful. When I am living in the present moment, I use wisdom and enjoy the memories of the past. ~ Debasish Mridha
Living In The Present quotes by Debasish Mridha
They would no longer be time-bound, that they were free to live in the future, the past, in fantasy.
She had been a woman preparing to live, not living. ~ Kiana Davenport
Living In The Present quotes by Kiana Davenport
Only one person in a thousand knows the trick of really living in the present. ~ Storm Jameson
Living In The Present quotes by Storm Jameson
Think about it: No matter who you are, the past plays a large part in your life. I am all about living in the present as best as I can. Try as I might, there is only so much I am able to achieve on this front. ~ Henry Rollins
Living In The Present quotes by Henry Rollins
Living in the present is the instant perception of beauty and the great delight in it without seeking pleasure from it. ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti
Living In The Present quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
Time that is spent dwelling on the past will surely continue in your present moment - and the future. ~ Michelle Cruz-Rosado
Living In The Present quotes by Michelle Cruz-Rosado
Live Today! Do not allow your spirit to be softened of your happiness to be limited by a day you cannot have back or a day that does not yet exist. ~ Steve Maraboli
Living In The Present quotes by Steve Maraboli
No more tomorrows. Today is the day. ~ Richie Norton
Living In The Present quotes by Richie Norton
What is the next step, the practical application?
- I will answer that the
absolutely vital thing is to consolidate your understanding, to become
capable of enjoyment, of living in the present, and of the discipline
which this involves. Without this you have nothing to give. ~ Alan W. Watts
Living In The Present quotes by Alan W. Watts
We just philosophize, complain of boredom, or drink vodka. It's so clear, you see, that if we're to begin living in the present, we must first of all redeem our past and then be done with it forever. And the only way we can redeem our past is by suffering and by giving ourselves over to exceptional labor, to steadfast and endless labor. ~ Anton Chekhov
Living In The Present quotes by Anton Chekhov
God does not want us to be living in the past, in shame, in fear, or in the future, in worry. He wants us to be living in the present, in now, with Him. ~ Rebecca St. James
Living In The Present quotes by Rebecca St. James
If you're worried that you won't know someone in a few years, you should start living in the present and enjoy the people who are around you now and when the time comes for both of you to part ways... remember that it was a privilege and honor to be part of their life's - even if it was for such a short time. ~ Tiffany Walker
Living In The Present quotes by Tiffany Walker
Live in the present, or die in your past; it's your choice. ~ Bryant McGill
Living In The Present quotes by Bryant McGill
It seems sometimes that we get so caught up in missing the past, or looking forward to the future, that we forget that this, right here and now, was once the days we longed for and will soon be the ones we miss. ~ John A. Ashley
Living In The Present quotes by John A. Ashley
The kind of people I absolutely cannot tolerate are those who never let you forget they are religious. It seems to me that a truly religious person would let his life be example enough, would not let his religion interfere with being a human being, and would not be so insecure as to have to fawn publicly before his gods. ~ W.P. Kinsella
Living In The Present quotes by W.P. Kinsella
Accept that living in the present moment, with your present desires, is the best, the highest thing you can do. ~ Deepak Chopra
Living In The Present quotes by Deepak Chopra
A long-standing commitment to living in the present - because screw the past. She was a done deal. And screw the future cuz she was a fickle bitch. ~ River Jaymes
Living In The Present quotes by River Jaymes
In order to live in the present, we have to learn how to feel safe even when a situation feels threatening to us. ~ John Kuypers
Living In The Present quotes by John Kuypers
It's not in the life, it's in the living. ~ Raheel Farooq
Living In The Present quotes by Raheel Farooq
No amount of regretting can change the past, and no amount of worrying can change the future. ~ Roy T. Bennett
Living In The Present quotes by Roy T. Bennett
No one should let yesterday use up too much of today. Easy to say, hard to live. ~ Andrea Hairston
Living In The Present quotes by Andrea Hairston
Let today be the day you stop being haunted by the ghost of yesterday. Holding a grudge & harboring anger/resentment is poison to the soul. Get even with people ... but not those who have hurt us, forget them, instead get even with those who have helped us. ~ Steve Maraboli
Living In The Present quotes by Steve Maraboli
One could not spend one's life in the imaginings of another life. ~ Aimee Bender
Living In The Present quotes by Aimee Bender
I'll worry about tomorrow tomorrow. ~ Soseki Natsume
Living In The Present quotes by Soseki Natsume
Not truly living in the present moment and later regretting is like closing your eyes when a peacock is dancing, only to want to see it dance once it is gone.-RVM ~ R.v.m.
Living In The Present quotes by R.v.m.
We can best honor our dead by livin' well. Moving' forward dusna mean y love them any less. It just means ye're still alive. ~ Heather Blanton
Living In The Present quotes by Heather Blanton
The only real security is not in owning or possessing, not in demanding or expecting, not in hoping, even. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what it was, nor forward to what it might be, but living in the present and accepting it as it is now. ~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Living In The Present quotes by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Welcome the present moment as if you had invited it. It is all we ever have so we might as well work with it rather than struggling against it. We might as well make it our friend and teacher rather than our enemy. ~ Pema Chodron
Living In The Present quotes by Pema Chodron
