Live in the present
I thought I was, but I wasn't.

It’s so difficult to discover yourself meta-living instead of living. My boyfriend is so patient, teaching me to be present with him. I have spent so many years worrying over the past or the future, and for what? It hasn’t done me any good.

I wish it were easier for me to learn how to live in the present for more than short periods of time. When I get the hang of this, so many other important elements of my life will fall into place.

Wow, I love this goal ...

It took me about 39 years to understand the concept. For years I thought it was just encouraging dumbness and irresponsibility (frivolity).

Then, quite by accident, for a lack of anything better to listen to in my friends’ car … I was forced to listen to Eckhart Tolle’s “The Power of Now”

And suddenly it all clicked.

I’m assuming that you guys have read or listened to The Power of Now? If not, you should definately grab the book or CDs. It’s brilliant.

for more than short periods of time? I think that one can live in the present for only one period of time “now.” :-)
