It is very important to give yourself completely to the current moment, and not wait until the next one comes. It is necessary to fully immerse yourself and enjoy what is happening in the present moment.

Mountains of bills are growing before our eyes, and you have no idea how you will pay them. Your mother has Alzheimer's and taking care of her sucks the juice out of you. You begin to doubt that anyone even cares about you. But it is at this moment that your heart is beating, you are breathing, you are not starving and you have a roof over your head. Under all circumstances, desires and requirements - everything is in order with you. The moment you're cooking dinner, or grocery shopping, or driving to work, or reading your mail, stop and in the very moment you're in, remind your mind that I'm fine right now.

And whatever happens to us TOMORROW...

We have TODAY and NOW in stock! ツ

You are where your thoughts are.
Make sure your thoughts are where you want to be.

And this moment is only yours!
Make it the way you really want it!

The time for happiness is now.

There are people who think that somewhere is better than here...
There are people who think that once it was or will be better than now ...
And there are people who feel good here and now, while others think! :)

If I am not able to wash the dishes with joy, if I want to finish it quickly so that I can go and have a cup of tea, then I will also not be able to drink the tea itself with joy. With a cup in hand, I will think about what to do next, and the taste and aroma of tea, along with the pleasure of drinking itself, will be forgotten. I will always yearn for the future and never be able to live in the present moment...

Tit Nath Khan

There are moments in which a person does not think about anything, does not reflect, does not evaluate, but there are not so many of them. We call these moments happy. This is the moment when you completely remain where your body is, remain here. This is a feeling of happiness, a state of love, peace.

We are always looking forward to something: weekends, vacations, vacations. We dream about it day in and day out, littered with books and work, making plans and thinking about what we could do if we had free time now. And we want it. Unfortunately, this is another “if”, which you definitely need to get rid of in your life. When the long-awaited days of freedom come, desires and plans to do something disappear, and if there are forces to do something, then definitely not to the extent and not with such zeal as we imagined it when we were busy. When there is a lot of something, we stop noticing and appreciating it. And over time, it's better not to joke. Friendship with him costs us dearly. You need to try to allocate more time for your desires, appreciate it, use it wisely. Find your favorite activities and places, create your own days and evenings, and there will be more good things...

Dividing life into past, present and future was invented by the mind, but this division is absolutely artificial. Past and future are thought forms, an illusion, a mental abstraction. You can only remember the past in this Moment. The event that you are remembering happened at this Moment, and you also remember it at this Moment. The future, when it comes, comes in the moment. So the only thing that is real, the only thing that is always there, is the present moment.

Eckhart Tolle "What Silence Says"

Now is a good time to forgive...

Now is a good time to love yourself...

Now is a good time to allow yourself to live easier...

What you did a minute ago or yesterday

or within the last six months,

or the last sixteen years,

or the last fifty years

does not mean anything.

What really matters is

what are you doing right now.

There is something great in every minute. For example, happiness...

Live in the present day, every day as if it could end at sunset.

IN EVERY MOMENT

I find heaven in every place, in every situation I see the good, in every person - love.

The past is gone, the future has not yet arrived. Only this moment remains - pure, saturated with energy. Live it!

Life is always happening now.

Remind yourself more often that the purpose of life is not at all to fulfill everything planned, but to enjoy every step taken on the path of life, to fill life with love. Richard Carlson

Sometimes the present moment is unacceptable, unpleasant or terrible. There is what is. Watch how the mind creates labels and how they are distributed, how continuous being in judgment creates pain and makes you unhappy. By tracking the mechanisms of the mind, you move away from the stereotype of resistance and, thereby, allow the present moment to be. This state gives you the opportunity to feel the taste of inner freedom from external circumstances, the taste of a state of true inner peace. Then just watch what happens, and if necessary or possible, act.Accept first, act later. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you chose it. Always work with him, not against him. Make him your friend and ally, not your enemy. It will magically transform your whole life.

Eckhart Tolle

- What we are going to do?

- Enjoy the moment.

This moment is what matters the most.

A moment is only a moment - a moment seems so unimportant to a person that he misses it, but only in this is his whole life, only in a moment of the present can he make that effort by which the kingdom of God is taken both inside and outside of us. Lev Tolstoy

CURRENTLY

When your attention is transferred to the present moment, this is readiness. It's like coming out of a dream - a dream of thoughts, of the past and the future. So clear, so simple. It has absolutely no room for creating problems. Only the present moment - as such. Eckhart Tolle

Just stop, stop looking. Everything you have been looking for is in front of you, you just have to reach out your hands and take what was meant for you from the very birth. Just stop looking, enjoy what you have. Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, whoever you are with, just listen, observe, look, learn. Just live.Live as if you were just born and saw everything that surrounds you!The happiness of life lies in the present moment, in the ability to live now and feel, hear, see, breathe every moment ... Every moment - Live.

If you want to live happily, love the little things in everyday life.
The glow of clouds, the rustle of leaves, the chirping of a flock of sparrows, the faces of passers-by - find pleasure in all these everyday little things.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke

The world will present itself to you exactly as you imagine it to yourself.

You constantly adjust your life to your own ideas about it.

What you believe strongly enough is what you will see in your life. And by no means the other way around. In fact, the everyday hell you live in is nothing but the result of your stubborn belief that the here and now is not heaven at all.

Chuck Hillig

You sit - and sit yourself; you go - and go yourself.
The main thing - do not fuss in vain.

You are the Garden of Joy, you don't need anyone to be happy. You dwell in the garden of Joy, but, remembering the old, you are sad. This Joy, this Moment will destroy both the mind and suffering, because this Moment is precisely Happiness. So don't go back to past moments that bring suffering. Papaji

I'm interested in excitement. I am interested in absolute merging with the cosmos at the everyday level. If I kiss, then I am not at that moment. If I sing a song, I am not at that moment. This is what interests me. I'm looking for where there's the least distraction. Where are the least bunnies around. I don't want to waste my energy. If we take the kissing analogy again, there are people who kiss and think - I still need to call this today, do this, this and this. And so uninteresting. If I do something, I want to be all there. I've come to the point where I want undiluted happiness.

Boris Grebenshchikov

To learn to live now, you need to let go of everything that happened yesterday.

The present moment is the field on which the game of life takes place. And it can't happen anywhere else. The secret of the ability to live, the secret of success and happiness can be expressed in three words: Unity with Life. Oneness with life is oneness with what is Now. Realizing this, you will understand that you do not live your life, but life lives by you. Life is a dancer and you are a dance. Eckhart Tolle

The best way to take care of the future is

Eternity pulsates in every breath...

Whoever understands life is in no hurry. Stop...

Feel the taste of every moment!

THERE IS NO PAST

The universe is being recreated moment by moment. Therefore, in fact, there is no past, there is only a memory of the past. Blink your eye and the world you see didn't exist when you closed it. So the only possible state of mind is wonder. The only possible state of the heart is delight. The skies you see now you have never seen before. Now is the perfect moment. Be happy with it.

Terry Pratchett "Time Thief"

LIVE IN THE HARMFUL PRESENT

When you stop digging into what has already happened...

And worry about what hasn't happened yet...

Then you can feel the Joy of Life.

Stay in the present. You can't change anything about the past, and the future will never come to you exactly as you envisioned it or expected it to be. Dan Millman.

The great science of living happily is to live in the present.

Don't be afraid of what will happen tomorrow. Love yours today, love it with any, unwanted, bad. And then it will answer you with love, just as someone who no one wants to see and accept, and suddenly there is someone who accepts him totally.

You are too interested in what was and what will be ... The sages say: the past is forgotten, the future is closed, the present is bestowed. That's why it's called real.

Don't let the clock and calendar obscure the fact that every second of life is a miracle and a mystery.

Forget the past, it brings sorrows, do not think about the future, it brings worries, live in the present, because this is the only way to be happy.

Disappeared friends do not call back.

Forget yesterday, don't think about tomorrow

Today you live - live today.

Omar Khayyam

People would suffer much less if they did not so diligently develop the power of imagination in themselves, would not endlessly recall past troubles, but would live in the harmless present.

This is how the Engine from Romashkovo reasoned: stop, look around, listen, otherwise you might be late for life ...

When I breathe in, I calm my body and mind.
As I exhale, I smile.
Being in the present moment, I know that this moment is amazing!

Yesterday is history.

Tomorrow is a mystery.

Today's gift!

Once, from the window of his house, from where the market square was visible, Rabbi Nachman noticed one of his students. He was in a hurry somewhere.

Have you had time to look at the sky this morning? Rabbi Nachman asked him.

No, Rabbi, I didn't have time.

Believe me, in fifty years everything you see here will be gone. There will be another fair here - with other horses, with other carts, and the people will be different too. I won't be here anymore, and neither will you. What is so important here that you don't have time to look at the sky?...

The world is beautiful, perfect, and infinitely interesting. You just need to realize life in the moment Here and Now. And she will open all her doors for you. Yes, be open-hearted!

The ego keeps you waiting: tomorrow, when you succeed, you can rejoice. And today, of course, you must suffer, you must sacrifice. Tomorrow simply means that which never happens. It's postponing life. This is a great strategy for keeping you in the grip of suffering. The ego cannot rejoice in the present. It cannot exist in the present; it dwells only in the future or in the past, which do not exist. The past is no more, the future is not yet; both are non-existent things. In the present, pure moment, you will find no ego in you - only silent joy and pure silent emptiness.

OSHO ---

Never go back to the past. It kills your real. Memories are meaningless, they only take your precious time. History doesn't repeat itself, people don't change. Never wait for anyone, do not stand still. Who needs it - they will catch up. Do not look back. All hopes and dreams are just illusions, don't let them take over you.

Remember! Never, under any circumstances, give up. And always love, you cannot live without love, but love this present, the past cannot be returned, and the future may not begin.

Sometimes we say how good it used to be, how we miss those times. In the future, the same will be said about what is happening now. Appreciate the real.

If you keep looking back, you won't be able to see what lies ahead...

M / f "Ratatouille" ---

Close your eyes and you will see. Stop listening and you will hear. Stay alone with your heart and you will realize...

Use every moment so that later you do not repent and do not regret that you missed your youth.

Paulo Coelho ---

Try, at least in a small way, not to bring your mind.
Look at the world - just look.
Don't say "like" or "dislike". Don't say anything.
Don't say the words, just look.
The mind will feel uncomfortable.
My mind would like to say something.
You just say to the mind:
"Be quiet, let me see, I'll just watch"...

Stretching their hands to the stars, people often forget about the flowers under their feet.

D.Bentham ---

Life is as it is seen. It's magical enough not to invent anything else.

-- Bernard Werber ---

There are three traps that steal joy and peace: regret for the past, worry for the future, and ingratitude for the present.

If you want to be a happy person, don't rummage through your memory.

Accept reality as it is.
Appreciate everything that comes into your life.
Enjoy while it lasts.
Let go when the time is right.

I was inspired by the words of Chogyam Trungpa, a Tibetan meditation master, who was once asked how he managed to escape from the Chinese invasion, along with his students, to cross the Himalayas, having almost no preparation, no provisions, not knowing the path and outcome of his risky venture. His answer was short: "Alternately moving the legs."

Jorge Bukay

Happiness is available to everyone, and is available right now.
We just need to stop and take a closer look at the treasures that already surround us.

There are people who think that somewhere is better than here.
There are people who think that once it was (will be) better than now.
There are people who feel good here and now, while others think.

How you live your day is how your whole life goes. How easy it is to succumb to the idea that one day doesn't solve anything, because we have many more days like this ahead of us. But a wonderful life is nothing more than a succession of wonderful, well-lived days, going in succession, like pearls strung on a string in a beautiful necklace. Every day is valuable in its own way. The past is left behind and the future is just a figment of the imagination, so today is all you own. So manage this day wisely.

Life is now. It's not "tomorrow" or "yesterday". One is unknown, the other does not exist.

Peace and serenity can only exist in the present moment. If you really want to be at peace and harmony, you must be at peace and harmony right now.

Live in a world with no idea of ​​what's next. Whether you are a winner or a loser, it doesn't matter. Death will take everything. Whether you win or lose, it doesn't matter. The only thing that matters, and always has, is how you play the game. Did you enjoy it? - the game itself... - and then every moment becomes a moment of joy.

Osho

Walking on water is not a miracle.
The miracle is to walk the Earth and feel really alive right now.
And smile!

Most of us live in such a frenetic pace that true silence and immobility sometimes become something alien and uncomfortable. Most people, upon hearing my words, will say that they do not have time to sit and look at a flower. They will tell you that they don't have time to just enjoy the laughter of children or run barefoot in the rain. They will say that they are too busy for such activities. They don't even have friends, because friends also take time...

Robin Sharma ---

THE JOY OF LIFE

Ask yourself: "Am I feeling joy, peace and lightness from what I am doing now?"

If not, then this means that time obscures the present moment, and life is perceived as a heavy burden or as a struggle. If there is neither joy, nor calmness, nor ease in what you are doing, then this does not necessarily mean that you should change what you are doing.

Just change how you do it.

"HOW" is always more important than "WHAT".

See if you have the opportunity to pay even more, and much more, attention to the DOING IT ITSELF than to the RESULT that you want to achieve through this doing. Direct all your attention to what gives you THIS MOMENT. At the same time, this will mean that you completely accept what is, because you cannot give something your full attention and at the same time resist it.

As soon as you begin to honor and respect the present moment, then all existing discontent dissipates and the need for struggle disappears, and life begins to flow joyfully and calmly. No reality can be a threat to you.

If yesterday was lost due to some mistake, then don't lose today by remembering it...

No matter how long your journey is, there is never more than: one step, one breath, one moment - Now.

Eckhart Tolle ---

Don't spoil what you have by wanting what you don't have; remember that once you only hoped to get what you have now.

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Believe in it and make it beautiful.

There is no point in looking for a place where you will feel good. It makes sense to learn how to create it well anywhere.

We spend, we pass through our fingers the best minutes, as if there are no one knows how many of them are in stock. We usually think about tomorrow, about the next year, at a time when we need to cling with both hands to a cup poured over the edge, which life itself stretches out, unbidden, with its usual generosity - and drink, and drink, until the cup has passed into others. arms. Nature does not like to regale and offer for a long time. Alexander Ivanovich Herzen

In everyone's life there comes a moment when you need to understand that the old is no more. It was there, in the past, and now it has collapsed completely and irrevocably. This is how we learn to let go.

Very few people live for today. Most prepare to live later.

Be in the moment. Bring all your total awareness into this moment. Don't let the past interfere, don't let the future come in. The past is no more, it is dead. Die to the past every moment, whether the past is heaven or hell. Whatever it is, die to it and be fresh and young and be born again in this moment.A person appears to be in the present, but this is only an appearance. Man lives in the past. It passes through the present, but remains rooted in the past.The past is gone - why cling to it? You can't do anything with it; you cannot go back, you cannot remake it - why cling to it? This is not a treasure. And if you cling to the past and think it's a treasure, of course your mind will want to relive it again and again in the future. Osho

This moment contains the seed of the greatest truth. This is the truth you wanted to remember. But as soon as that moment arrived, you immediately began to build thoughts about it. Instead of being in the moment, you stood aside and judged it. Then you reacted. It means you did what you did before.

By approaching each moment as if it were a blank slate, without any prior thought about it, you can create yourself the way you are, rather than repeating the way you once were.

Life is a process of creation, and you continue to live as if it were a process of repetition!

Neil Donald Walsh

Everything that we perceive during life is “in the moment”. Things exist only for a moment, only we do not dare or do not want to consider them in this way.

Does the sun shine for me today so that I think about yesterday?
Friedrich Schiller

A lot of people are waiting all week for Friday, the whole month of the holiday, the whole year of summer, and the whole life of happiness ... And you need to rejoice at every day and enjoy every moment.

For some, happiness is a quiet and calm family life, someone is looking for an opportunity to realize themselves in creativity or business, and someone needs to help homeless animals for happiness.

From the quotes, we learned what happiness is in the understanding of famous personalities. How right they are is up to you.

For the Indians of the American Piraha tribe, for example, all these quotes are nothing more than talking about nothing. For this small tribe, which lives in four villages near the Maisi River, a tributary of the Amazon, being happy is a natural thing. They are almost like Buddhists - they live here and now. The past and the future do not matter to them. Piraha call themselves "right people", and all the rest for them - "brains on one side". They are considered the most carefree people on Earth.

But we are not Piraha. Therefore, it is natural for us to try to understand and explain the state of happiness. Even with the help of quotes and aphorisms of other people. Here, by the way, is another selection of sayings about happiness.

Be happy.

Quotes and Aphorisms 05.04.2018

Dear readers, you must admit that we all want to be happy - this is perhaps the main human desire. But can someone give precise definition happiness? After all, we are all different, and everyone has their own happiness.

For some, happiness is when a secret desire comes true. Someone does not see himself happy without a family. For others, happiness is impossible without successful career and someone is happy because they are in love. Moreover, in a different period of life, happiness for the same person can be in different things, sometimes even completely opposite. And all this is reflected in aphorisms about happiness.

Remember the quote about the happiness of the heroine of the movie "We'll Live Till Monday"? “It's impossible to explain happiness… It's like sticking a sunbeam to paper…” But we'll still try.

It seems to me that the concept of happiness is best revealed not in dry definitions. explanatory dictionaries, but in quotes and aphorisms about happiness.

Reflections of great people about happiness

Many sages and artists have thought about what happiness is and how to achieve it.
