Now
“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.” – Buddha
What is your greatest distraction? What gnaws at your mind and pulls you away from focus? Is it the things you haven’t done yet, or the things you wish you could do differently?
Dwelling on the past is futile. You cannot change it. The past serves only as a teacher, not a place to live. Likewise, thoughts of the future may offer hope or inspiration, but the future is not promised. While useful for brief reflection or planning, such thoughts easily become another distraction when they pull you away from what truly matters—the present.
Your reality is here and now. The present moment is the only thing within your grasp, the only place where action and impact occur. Focusing on the present allows you to make the most of your time, free from regret over the past or worry about the future. It centers your attention and aligns your efforts with what is real and actionable.
Let go of distractions. Embrace the moment before you. It is your greatest opportunity, your truest reality.
