Living happily in the present moment

I’ve been reading Thich Nhat Hanh‘s book,  Art of Power. It’s one of those books that’s been on my shelf for quite awhile, until now, right when I needed to hear the message. Here’s the line I want to bring to your attention:

“Living happily in the present moment.”

I read this statement last week and have been practicing it off and on since then. I have a sense of shifting my life in a profound way, going from focusing on what I should do in the future (or what I might fear could happen) and on what I should have done in the past (or what I grieve) to–this moment. Now.

“Living happily in the present moment.”

Over the years, I’ve done quite a lot of practicing about being present, bringing my attention to fully experiencing what is. And yet, using this mantra has taken me a step further. I have a sense of reaping the treasures of the moment in a broader way, like I’m harvesting gorgeous sunlight in a beautiful garden.

“Living happily in the present moment.”

So, I offer it to you. Try speaking it to yourself five times, while letting yourself soak in all that is.

“Living happily in the present moment.”
