Quote:
The future is made of the same stuff as the present.
—Simone Weil
The only lessons that matter for our lives at this time will come to us today. Just as what we needed and were ready for yesterday came yesterday, tomorrow insures more of the same. Concerning ourselves with any other moment but the present prevents us from responding when "the teacher appears."
Each Day A New Beginning
Love this, explains how I feel and how I try to think each day and expresses it so much better than I can.
As the old saying goes, "If you have one foot in yesterday and one foot in tomorrow, you are missing out on today.
How can I see what is happening in today if I am continually looking over my shoulder at the past or focusing my sight on the future. I can't see what is going on around me and I end up with tunnel vision.
When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. You can't be ready in today, if you are still focusing on the past and the future.
