9 Inisghts on life #2
Life
unfolds only in moments.
Of course! I once called this the most important thing I ever
learned. Nobody has ever experienced anything that wasn’t
part of a single moment unfolding. That means life’s only
challenge is dealing with the single moment you are having
right now. Before I recognized this, I was constantly trying to
solve my entire life — battling problems that
weren’t actually happening. Anyone can summon the resolve
to deal with a single, present moment, as long as they are
truly aware that it’s their only point of contact with
life, and therefore there is nothing else one can do that can
possibly be useful. Nobody can deal with the past or future,
because, both only exist as thoughts, in the present. But we
can kill ourselves trying.
