"This very moment is the only moment yo have. To be fully present here and now requires conscious effort and atention. It means letting go of your plans for the future and forgetting the past. Very few people live that consciously. You can be one of them.
With practice, you can train yourself to be more present in the now moment. Centering your attention requires focus and discipline. But it is the greatest gift ou can give to yourself. Being present where you are righ now allows you to make better choices and decisions. When you are awake and present, you ae turly alive!
Practice being present. When you're with a friend or loved one, give them your full attention. Listen when they speak. Don't mult-task or plan what to say in response. Just listen."
Spirit is Calling.

Seeing Good At Work
I have been through the book three times over three years, and am starting it again. This is not because the material in the book is not working, but because it is working so well! The weekly lessons keep me on track and focused on what is actually true and important, and help me experience more good in every area of my life. LS
