The more you live in and enjoy the present moment, the happier you will be.”

“Sometimes things don't work out the way we hoped, despite our best intentions. And when they go pear-shaped, you have to let them. You can't keep holding on, trying to redo the past and stop the bad things from happening. They happened, and you can't change that. You can't keep holding on to the vision of the future you imagined you'd have, the way you thought things would turn out. You have to let the present be what it is---broken, flawed, painful, but real.”

“No Teacher for Present (The Sonnet)
Life's purpose is realization of life,
Beyond the narrowness of yesterday.
Instead of waiting for a fictitious future,
Life is whatever you make of it today.
The past is always afraid of the future,
Don't let their fear ruin your present.
The future may be condescending to the past.
Don't let such arrogance ruin your humanness.
Embrace the wonders that the past has to offer,
Learn from their blunders even through their denial.
Be mindful of the direction that you are headed,
Then leap to work on the present, lock, stock 'n barrel.
Neither past nor future is qualified to teach the present.
All present must find their way free from all allegiance.”
― Mucize Misafir Merhaba: The Peace Testament

“Honor He Wrote Sonnet 41
Don't worship your past,
At the expense of your present.
Don't glorify the future,
At the expense of the present.
Don't worship the dead,
At the expense of the living.
Don't admire the unborn,
While overlooking the living.
It's only by lifting the living that,
We build a better world for all progeny.
It's only by being kind to the living,
That we truly honor our ancestry.
Honor is earned not begged for.
Honor the living, ‘n all time will be grateful.”

“Most of us live in the past and resist living in a new future. Why? The body is so habituated to memorizing the chemical records of our past experiences that it grows attached to these emotions. In a very real sense, we become addicted to those familiar feelings. So when we want to look to the future and dream of new vistas and bold landscapes in our not-too-distant reality, the body, whose currency is feelings, resists the sudden change in direction.”

“When faced with daily irritations, our reflex is to think that we can make it right: this is all fixable, teeth are brushable, we can feel whole.
Maybe we also think that someday we will have gained perfect maturity from the lessons of our lives. We expect to be wise old sages like Yoda, not realizing that maturity is just another aspect of decay. Subconsciously we are lured by the expectation that we will reach a stage where we don't have to fix anything ever again. One day we will reach "happily ever after." We are convinced of the notion of "resolution." It's as if everything that we've experienced up until now, our whole lives to this moment, was a dress rehearsal. We believe our grand performance is yet to come, so we do not live for today.
For most people this endless managing, rearranging, upgrading is the definition of "living." In reality, we are waiting for life to start. When prodded, most of us admit that we are working toward some future moment of perfection—retirement in a log cabin in Kennebunkport or in a hut in Costa Rica. Or maybe we dream of living out our later years in the idealized forest landscape of a Chinese painting, serenely meditating in a teahouse overlooking a waterfall and koi pond.”
