“Only one person in a thousand knows the trick of really living in the present. Most of us spend fifty-nine minutes an hour living in the past, with regret for lost joys or shame for things badly done (both utterly useless and weakening) or in a future which we either long for or dread. . . .

Which is exactly what it is-a miracle and unrepeatable.” KnowsWayPersonsLongDonePastJoyLostHoursAcceptingAliveMinutesRegretThousandMiracleShameNineTricksUselessFiftyDreadHere And NowLive In The PresentWay To LiveOne MinuteWeakeningLiving In The PastReally Living Author:Storm Jameson
