Every moment is a gift,
So accept this moment.

Fear comes from the past,
And is projected into the future.
If you choose to live now,
The world will look so much brighter.

Accept this gift,
And live in the moment.

Overthinking again.
An insanity of my own making.
Separate from the universe’s song,
All these moments will soon be gone.

This will not happen again.

These thoughts do not serve me,
Why do I keep doing this to me?

I need to let go,
And sway to the music.

The universe is singing to me.
Listen to that old sweet melody.
Move to the rhythm of the music.
Let it pass through body, mind and spirit.

Unify this separate spirit.
Sway to the music.

I hear the hum of Saturn,
Resonating inside of me.
The stars they sing out,
Verses from a healing remedy.

I am,
An instrument,
In sync,
With the moment.

Sway to the music.
Witness the in-between scenes behind every moment.

Accept this holy gift.

I am an instrument in the universe’s hands,
Guide me through all the sacred cords.
Surrendering to the will of something bigger than me,
Joining in as the planets sing that ancient melody.
Feeling the unification of body, mind and spirit,
Swaying to the rhythm and the echo of the music.

Sway to the music.
Choose to live in this moment.

Accept this holy gift,
Receive enlightenment.

Is the purpose of living
to experience
joy and happiness
in the present-moment?
If so,
find an activity you enjoy
and enjoy it!
For example,
is eating tasty nutritious food enjoyable?
Enjoy it!
Is talking a walk in a park enjoyable?
Enjoy it!
Is romancing a person you love enjoyable?
Enjoy it!
Search for activities to enjoy
and enjoy it!

Is there is no such thing as 'Time'?
Is there only
our experience
of the present-moment
changing?
Is what we call 'Time'
the changing of our experience
of clocks as they tick
in the present-moment?

I have chosen a purpose
for living:
I am
striving to achieve
joy and happiness
in the present-moment,
for myself and others.

Does it brings peace of mind
to accept
what is happening
within Destiny
in the present-moment?

When my mind is caught in the past
regretting my errors
with sadness, disappointment, repentance,
I re-focus on the present-moment
leaving behind in the past
the self I was when I committed errors;
And I focus my attention
on evaluating the self I am
in the present-moment,
striving to improve my self
into the wisdom I need
to achieve joy and happiness
in the present-moment.

I accept
my mistakes
as in the past;
and in the present-moment
I strive to improve my self
so I don’t repeat these mistakes
in the future.

When I fear losing
the happiness
I am enjoying at present,
I re-focus on enjoying
my happiness
in the present-moment:
I enjoy the sun, before it sets;
I enjoy the moon, before it fades;
I enjoy loving and being loved
before my people die;
I focus on enjoying
the happiness
of the present-moment.
