I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.
-Paulo Coelho
"The Alchemist"
Quotations
Future
Life is only the present. And in the present, neither there is room for memories of
the past nor worries of the future. The root cause of all the miseries of life is the
effort to accommodate the past or future in the present.
-Deep Trivedi
If you are deliberately trying to create a future that feels safe, you will willfully ignore the future that is likely.
-Seth Godin

-Charles Michael "Chuck" Palahniuk
"Survivor"
There are many tomorrows,
There is only one today.

Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.

Life lived for tomorrow will always be just a day away from being realized.

Do not dwell in the past; do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
