owning the present
 |
that if I want my life to be whole, to resonate with feeling and integrity and
value and health, there’s only one way I can influence the future: by
owning the present. If I can relate to this moment with integrity, and then
this moment with integrity, and then this moment with integrity, wakefully,
then the sum of that is going to be very different over time, over many
moments that stretch out into what we call a life, than a life that is lived
mostly on automatic pilot, where we are reacting and being mechanical
and are therefore somewhat numb.
