In The Present Quotes

“Fear is caused by the uncertainty of the future. Sorrow is caused by the remembrance of the past. Try to keep your thoughts in the present, for the future we will never know and the past we may never understand.”
― Jeffrey Fry

“The way I see it there are three ways to maintain yourself in the present moment: Firstly, you can meditate. Secondly, you can exercise. Meditation makes people want to exercise, that is why I listed it as number one. Thirdly, and this will probably cause a lot of disagreement, is to drink alcohol. My explanation for this is based upon experience with all three. If you do not mediate or exercise and you do not drink alcohol, then it has been my experience that over time you start to slip away from the present moment, and weaken mentally. Drinking will bring you back to it temporarily. That is why people say they need a good “blowout”, they need to reset. But of course, drinking can be a dangerous addiction and cause you to do unreasonable acts, plus damage your body.”
