Do you struggle with living in the present moment? Do you
see how the present moment is the only one that exists for
you, that both the past and the future do not exist until you
acknowledge the present moment? Living in the present moment
is like breathing for you. Just as you live in this moment and
the next, so you live from one breath to the next. While your
body can exist for long periods of time without food or water,
it can live for only a few minutes without breathing. You live
from one breath to the next and your survival in any lifetime
depends on your ability to take the next
breath.
