This Moment

Source

This moment is the only moment you ever have to take care of.

What we think of as "the future" only ever comes to us as the present moment.

Life becomes so simple when we realize that all we ever need to confront and respond to occurs in this moment alone. Nothing else exists. Future does not exist. Only this -- this moment, these surroundings, these current thoughts and feelings -- exists.

And when there is no future, fear disappears. There is nothing to be fearful of in the present moment. If a threatening situation presents itself, only swift consideration and response is required; there is no time for fear.

Condense all that you believed your life to encompass, including your past and your illusory future, to this very moment.

Only this requires your attention and consideration. How will you choose to respond to your life (which is only ever this moment) knowing this truth?
