学会活在当下

Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal for some later date. It isn't. In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control over. When our attention is in the present moment, we push fear from our minds. Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the future - we won't have enough money, our children will get into trouble, we will get old and die, whatever.

许多人的生活似乎是未来某一天的彩排。绝非如此。实际上，没有人能够保证他或者她明天还会活着。现在是我们惟一所拥有的时间，并且也是我们惟一能够举握的时间。当我们把注意力放在此时此刻，我们就会将恐惧置之脑后。恐惧就是我们为将来可能发生的事情而过于担忧——我们不会有足够多的金钱,我们的孩子会招惹麻烦，我们会变老,会死去。
