Life is a moment after a moment.
In a second, a moment becomes past,
And the future becomes present.
In truth, past and future
Live only in the mind—
And only the moment exists.
If you want to feel happiness
Or enjoy anything,
You cannot do so without being in the moment.
And this fleeting moment of time
Is all we ever truly have.
Try not to ignore the present moment.
We often place our attention
In the past or future,
But that makes us
Miss what passes before our eyes.
For everything, all fulfillment,
Exists in that fleeting moment.
When we want to feel love,
To give love, to express it,
We can only do so in the present moment.
But all regret and hopelessness
Belong to the past or the future.
The present holds only bliss, joy, and happiness.
Nothing exists beyond this moment.
A life fully lived is always lived in the present—
No escape, only purpose, revealed to you.
The moment finds gods within us .
