Present Quotes

Inspirational Quotes about Present. Inspirational and motivational quotes on Present.

We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive.

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Mindfulness is the aware, balanced acceptance of the present experience. It isn't more complicated that that...

~ Sylvia Boorstein

Being aware of your breath forces you into the present moment - the key to all inner transformation. Whenever you are conscious of the breath, you are absolutely present. You may also notice that you cannot think and be aware of your breathing. Conscious breathing stops your mind.

~ Eckhart Tolle

To meditate with mindful breathing is to bring body and mind back to the present moment so that you do not miss your appointment with life.

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Anxiety, the illness of our time, comes primarily from our inability to dwell in the present moment.

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

It is easy to imagine that the Buddha, the awakened one, is something or somewhere other than here or that awakening to reality will happen sometime other than now. But as long as we continue to think in terms of time we will deceive ourselves. The you who is chasing enlightenment will never become enlightened.

Instead of striving towards some distant goal that you will never reach, I invite you to stop and ask: How am I avoiding the enlightenment that is already present in each moment? How am I seeing separation where it doesn't exist?

~ Adyashanti

The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be.

~ Author Unknown

The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness.

~ Abraham Maslow

The most heartbreaking thing of all is how we cheat ourselves of the present moment.

~ Pema Chodron

The best way to take care of the future is to take care of the present moment.

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

The present moment is a conspiracy of the total universe.
To resist it is to resist the universe.
Let go and flow.

~ Deepak Chopra

I will practice coming back to the present moment, not letting regrets and sorrow drag me back into the past or letting anxieties, fears, or cravings pull me out.

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

All things happen to oneself, and happen precisely, precisely now. Century follows century, yet events occur only in the present; countless men in the air, on the sea, yet everything that happens, happens to me...

~ Jorge Luis Borges

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.

~ Henry David Thoreau

Speech is the organ of this present world. Silence is the mystery of the world to come.

~ St. Isaac the Syrian

Most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now.

~ Eckhart Tolle

We know how to be doctors, nurses, lawyers. We know how to be tweeters. We know how to be everything. But how do you just be people? How do you be present with one another? How do you be honest with one another? How do you be compassionate towards one another, forgiving towards one another? We know what to do. We don't know what to be, how to be.

~ Iyanla Vanzant

Don't search for heaven and hell in the future. Both are now present. Whenever we manage to love without expectations, calculations, negotiations, we are indeed in heaven. Whenever we fight, hate, we are in hell

~ Shams Tabrizi

Life is like music for its own sake. We are living in an eternal now, and when we listen to music we are not listening to the past, we are not listening to the future, we are listening to an expanded present.

~ Alan Watts

How does silence find its way out of that noisy, chattering mind? That endless maze of thought, concept, opinion, belief? How does perfect silence and pure consciousness find its way out of that maze? Very simply: Bring yourself present with something that's HERE, in the moment. Then you'll be HERE again.

~ Leonard Jacobson
