The PAST & The FUTURE

“The past has brought infinite blessings and lessons, and has been what was mean’t to be at the time was, it has given birth to the present in all its beauty, and what will come next is unseen and unknown; lets us be more than willing to believe that the best is in fact yet to come.”

O

ur lives are governed by time. We live by it and in it; and of course, we die in it. Time is ours to save and to lose. We can’t buy time, but we talk about spending it. Though we never have enough, we are time squeezed.

The problem is, we rarely live in the present moment. All too often we are living in the past, preoccupied with something that has happened to us; or we are living in the future waiting for a time when life will treat us magnificently and we will be happy; or we are worrying about what lies ahead and how we will cope. Or we may be delaying all the things we promised ourselves we would do when we have time.

We need to understand that there is no other time than this instant, and that the past and the future are abstractions without any concrete reality. Until this has become clear, it seems that our life is all past and future, and that the present is nothing more than the minuscule hairline which divides them.

Tomorrow doesn’t exist. It’s only today that is reality, if we dream of having success and happiness, we must do today that which makes such success and happiness.
