Learn to Live in the Present Moment To a large degree, the measure of our peace mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment. 我们内心是否和平，在很大程度上是由我们是否能生活在现实之中决定的。 Irrespective of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you are—always! 不管昨天或去年发生了什么，不管明天可能发生或不发生什么，现实才是你时时刻刻所在之处。 Without question， many of us have mastered the neurotic art of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of thing ---all at once. 毫无疑问，我们很多人掌握了一种神经兮兮的艺术，即把生活中的大部分时间花在为种种事情担忧上----而且常常是同时忧虑许多事情。 * * We allow past problems and future concerns to dominate our present moments, so much so that we end up anxious, frustrated, depressed, and hopeless. 我们听凭过去的麻烦和未来的担心控制我们此时此刻的生活，以致我们整日焦虑不安，萎靡不振，甚至沮丧绝望。 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. 而另一方面我们又推迟我们的满足感，推迟我们应优先考虑的事情，推迟我们的幸福感，常常说服自己“有朝一日”会比今天更好。 Unfortunately, the same mental dynamics that tell us to look toward the future will only repeat themselves so that ‘someday’ never actually arrives. 不幸的是，如此告诫我们朝前看的大脑动力只能重复来重复去，以致有朝一日永远不会真正来临。 John Lennon once said ，life is what’s happening while we’re busy making other plans. When we’re busy making other plans, our children are busy growing up, the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss out on life. 约翰列农曾经说过：“生活就是当我们忙于制定别的计划是发生的事情。”当我们忙于制定种种别的计划时，我们的孩子在忙于长大，我们至爱的人离去了甚至快去世了，我们的体型变样了，而我们的梦想也悄然溜走了。一句话，我们错过了生活。 Many people lives as if life were a dress rehearsal for some later date. It isn’t. in fact, on one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. 许多人的生活好像是某个未来日子的彩排。并非如此。事实上，没人能保证他或她明天肯定还活着。 Now is the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control over. 现在是我们所拥有的唯一时间，现在也是我们能控制的唯一时间。 When our attention is in the present moment ,we push fear from our minds.
