First, study the present construction. Second, ask for all past experiences... study and read everything you can on the subject (The Present Quotes)
Forgiveness is a gift to yourself. It frees you from the past, past experiences, and past relationships. It allows you to live in the present time. When you forgive yourself and forgive others, you are indeed free (The Present Quotes)
By watching the mechanics of the mind, you step out of its resistance patterns, and you can then allow the present moment to be (The Present Quotes)
You are a success when you have made friends with your past, are focused on the present, and are optimistic about your future (The Present Quotes)
The past doesn’t determine your future unless you carry it with you into the present. Forgiving yourself and others, you free the universe to begin again at any moment (The Present Quotes)

Let us remember the past with gratitude, live the present with enthusiasm, and look forward to the future with confidence (The Present Quotes)
You accept things as they are, not as you wish they were in this moment... The past is history, the future is a mystery, and this moment is a gift. That is why this moment is called the present (The Present Quotes)
We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations (The Present Quotes)

Our contradictions. We are in such a hurry to grow up, and then we long for our lost childhood. We make ourselves ill earning money, and then spend all our money on getting well again. We think so much about the future that we neglect the present, and thus experience neither the present nor the future. We live as if we were never going to die, and die as if we had never lived (The Present Quotes)
She needs a new journal. The one she has is problematic. To get to the present, she needs to page through the past, and when she does, she remembers things, and her new journal entries become, for the most part, reactions to the days she regrets, wants to correct, rewrite (The Present Quotes)

It felt like she was an outline empty in the middle. The outline cried senselessly for the absent middle. The past cried for the present that was nothing (The Present Quotes)
At the present moment, with little or no detail to hand, it is difficult for me to make any comment, beyond the expression of horror at the shameless haste with which the government appears to be pressing for our liquidation (The Present Quotes)
I am in the present. I cannot know what tomorrow will bring forth. I can know only what the truth is for me today. That is what I am called upon to serve, and I serve it in all lucidity (The Present Quotes)
So much time is currently spent in worrying about the future that the present is allowed to go to hell (The Present Quotes)
Consciousness is observing your thoughts and actions so that you can live from true choice in the present moment rather than being run by programming from the past (The Present Quotes)
