There are many reasons to be present and focus our attention in the now. We worry less, miss less, complain less and regret less when we devote ourselves to the people, places and possibilities in the moment we’re actually in rather than some nostalgic or critical remembrance of the past or some hypothetical, imagined version of the future. There’s no time to waste because each moment comes around only once. If our attention is on a mentally constructed vision of the past or future, we live in a dream and miss life the only time it really happens…
Now.
