Accept the past as the past and realize that each new day you are a new person who doesn__ need to carry old baggage into the new day with you. It__ amazing how many people ruin the beauty of today with the sorrows of yesterday. Yesterday doesn__ exist anymore! For example, if ever I feel foolish or guilty about something I__e done, I learn from it and attempt to do better the next time. Shame or guilt serves no one. Such feelings actually keep us down, often lowering the vibrations of those around us, as well. Living in the present moment is the recurring baptism of the soul, forever purifying every new day with a new you.

Realizing and truly accepting that we are constantly evolving, that everything and everyone around us is also constantly evolving helps us to understand things. We have no way of predicting the future. What is right/wrong for us now, may not be right/wrong for us tomorrow because we and everything is constantly changing. We are free to make decisions with the knowledge that there is no exact correctness by which we can make a decision. It__ ok if the decision doesn__ work out, in fact, that will happen. It__ also ok to change our mind. There is no shame in changing our mind. What was right for us yesterday may just not work for us anymore
I__ wish it were easier to not allow other people__ pasts to create my own present.
Prayer is meeting with God. It's checking in, saying I am here, You are here. It is the present moment.
The past is set down in a thousand thousand indelible scrolls. But the future is a blank parchment forever in wait of a present.

your Life is cover by only one word 'IS', everything else is Just Unnecessary Happening By Your Mind.
The divine is in the present and you must be present to experience it. When you vacate the present and recede into your mind, allowing worries or work to remove you from the moment, you leave the plain upon which the divine dwells. When you are constantly under the anesthetic of digital distraction, you withdraw; you are no longer conscious, and therefore are in no fit state to commune with the sacred. If you wish to hear the answers you seek, you must be present to hear them. If you wish to partake in the insights there to be known, you must be present to receive them. If you wish to know the divine, you must be present to meet it. _you must be present.
It's only when you're forbidden to talk about the future that you suddenly realize how much the future normally occupies the present, how much of daily life is usually spent making plans and attempting to control the future.

Live in the mysterious. Accepting and being fully at peace with not knowing what's going to happen in the future will allow us to be fully present and more peaceful in the present.
We cannot turn back the clock and relive cherished pastimes. We move beyond our origins. A person must make their way in an evolving social, political, and economic world order. We must not be too quick writing off the influence of our prior experiences, because the long tentacles the past remain vibrant strands within us. While the past does not cast our future in stone, its durable mold shapes our present. The ingrained strumming of our personal histories, sentimental or otherwise, also portents what might come along in our future.
Future is something imaginary but the present moment is something real!
The negative feelings of anger, bitterness, guilt, regret, resentment, and sadness represent a failure of a person to accept that the past is an event that holds no power over the present. The thought that the future will bring salvation is an illusion. We must exist in the present.
