Irrespective of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you are - always! 在很大程度上，衡量我们内心是否平和决定于我们是否能够 生活在此时此刻。无论昨天或者去年发生了什么，无论明 天可能发生或者不发生什么，现实才始终是你的所在之处。 Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic art of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of things - all at once. We allow past problems and future concerns to dominate our present moments, so much so that we end up anxious, frustrated, depressed, and hopeless. On the flip side, we also postpone our gratification, our stated priorities, and our happiness, often convincing ourselves that someday will be better than today.

It isnt. In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control over. Wh
