On Being Present in Your Life

Don’t let yesterday use up too much of today.  ~ Cherokee Indian Proverb

So I sat down to work on my Ministry of Happiness post and decided tonight to work on talking about a very important concept, being present in your life.  As with all of the topics I write about I take some time to peruse the web, to see what others have written, to see if there are resources that I can recommend to help you on your journey to a happier life.  As will often happy I bumped into the Zenhabits site, and I do believe it is the one of the best sites on the web.  At times I’ve referred you to the site to check out a particular resource or item, however tonight I find myself utterly impressed with their post on being present.  So, because there is wisdom in knowing when someone has done something better than you can, I will refer you to their amazing piece on being present.  And in the spirit of being present in our over stimulated, multitasking world, take a few minutes to do nothing but focus on the article and let it sink in, great way to start a shortened holiday week, here’s the link:

You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present.  ~ Jan Glidewell
