Your words, thoughts, intentions and actions today are your best hope, comfort, building blocks and insurance for tomorrow. But it is now alone that is guaranteed – tomorrow is a dream, a maybe a potential gift. It’s now - not tomorrow - where happiness and fulfilment live...awaiting your discovery. It’s all this that will make each extra day that may arrive extra special and rich.

It's now - the present moment that allows us to have a vision of what tomorrow can be.
If we live in the past, then we would always be thinking about what could have or should have been.
If we live only for tomorrow, then we see the vision of what could be and where we could be. After all we need dreams and aspirations and that's what thoughts of the future hold.
Living in the present, being in the present moment, allows us to enjoy life to the fullest. That's where happiness and fulfillment resides! The present moment allows us to accept the experiences of yesterday and use these as a vision of a better tomorrow.
I hope that these Present Moment quotes help you appreciate joy that resides in the here and now!
Enjoy the Present Moment - much love. 🌷
Happiness is not dependent on circumstances being exactly as we want them to be, or on ourselves being exactly as we’d like to be. Rather, happiness stems from loving ourselves and our lives exactly as they are, knowing that joy and pain, strength and weakness, glory and failure are all essential to the full human experience.”
― Kristin Neff
It stands to reason that anyone who learns to live well will die well. The skills are the same: being present in the moment, and humble, and brave, and keeping a sense of humor.

From a mind filled with infinite love comes the power to create infinite possibilities. We have the power to think in ways that reflect and attract all the love in the world. Such thinking is called enlightenment. Enlightenment is not a process we work toward, but a choice available to us in any instant.
― Marianne Williamson

Freedom, joy or bliss doesn't come from the situation that we think we should be, but it derives from the one that we are already in.
― Aditya Ajmera
Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry – all forms of fear – are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of non-forgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence.
― Eckhart Tolle
