“On the surface it seems that the present moment is only one of many, many moments. Each day of your life appears to consist of thousands of moments where different things happen. Yet if you look more deeply, is there not only one moment, ever? Is life ever not this moment? This one moment, now, is the only thing you can never escape from. The one constant factor in your life. No matter what happens. No matter how much your life changes. One thing is certain. Its always now. Since there is no escape from the now, why not welcome it, become friendly with it.” IfsLooksDifferentMatterMomentsSeemsHappensCertainOne ThingNo Matter WhatConstantSurfaceThings HappenFactorsWelcomeLife ChangingEach DayDifferent ThingsFriendlyPresent MomentWhy NotStillness Speaks Book:Stillness Speaks Source: Stillness Speaks
“We must look deeply into the nature of our volition to see whether it is pushing us in the direction of liberation from suffering and toward peace and compassion, or in the direction of affliction and misery. What is it that we really want deep in our heart? Is it money, fame, power? Or is it finding inner peace, being able to live life fully and enjoy the present moment?” WantLooksHeartMomentsMotivationalAbleSufferingEnjoyCompassionFameFindingsMiseryInner PeaceLiberationLive LifePushingPresent MomentAfflictionEnjoy LifeFollow Your HeartListen To Your HeartMoments In TimeListen To YourselfVolitionCherish Every MomentFinding Inner Peace Author:Nhat Hanh
