In this present moment I care that my thinking be the right kind of thinking, thinking that reflects understanding and compassion. This kind of thinking can nourish and transform me, bringing joy and happiness to me and people around me.

In this very moment, I care that my speech be the kind of speech that communicates understanding and compassion, the kind of speech that can restore communication and offer confidence and reconciliation.

At this very moment, I care about my physical action. My physical action should be able to translate my understanding and my compassion.

If I’m sure that my thinking, speech, and physical action are in line with understanding and compassion, I don’t have to worry anymore about the future, and I save a lot of energy. I want to invest one hundred percent of myself into the present moment. And this is possible. If I know I am doing my best in the present moment, I’m not afraid of the views of ideas of people now and in the future. The past, the present, and the future are interconnected. The present contains both the past and the future……..

……You can be at peace. You don’t have to worry about the future at all. It is possible to cultivate the elements of peace, joy, and well-being in ourselves by living deeply every moment of our daily life. If we do this we don’t need to worry about the future. Despair and anxiety cannot afflict us if we know that we are already taking care of the present moment the best way we can. What more is there to worry about?
