This Moment
You've got the chance to learn all I know about this beautiful philosophy - being present, living in the now, experiencing and enjoying this moment. That’s what I'm writing about in the book.
The main points I'm making
othis moment is all we have, we need to cherish it and make the best of it;
oonly there can we find peace of mind and contentment;
othere are barriers that prevent us from being present;
owe think too much about what was and what might happen and thus miss out on this moment;
oletting go frees our mind and lets us live consciously here and now;
and much more.
This book may be considered inspiring, informative, spiritual, uplifting or even life-changing. It’s all up to you.
You may expect to find it in the “Self-help” area as it teaches how to get over your past, let go of worries and thinking too much, avoid comparing and find ways to be peaceful and grateful.
But once you finish it, you’ll know that it teaches how to ditch expectations too. So it’s better not to put it in a particular category as this only limits the number and type of readers it can touch.
It’s a simple reading. It’s written simply, because there’s nothing complicated about this moment. It’s beautiful, one of a kind, has power and is the only place we can find peace and happiness.
All these things seem pretty easy to understand, most are obvious, or you've already heard of them.
But we still live a hectic life full of regrets, fears and worries about what might or might not happen, illusions, expecting things to turn out in a certain way, planning, comparing, etc.
Basically, everything else but experiencing the present moment.
If we look at it this way, life is a series of such moments. And not being able to focus on the now means we’re not living at all.
Not being present means not being contented and in peace as this state can only be reached by an empty mind that knows how to be mindful.
