LIVE IN THE PRESENT

Set your sites on where you want to be, but focus on where you are now, and take each step, moment by moment.
-- Robert Alan Silverstein

The key to living a 'better world lifestyle' is to set our sites on where we want to be, but focus on where we are NOW, and take each step, moment by moment. The past is past. The future will come when it comes. We are here in the present. We can learn from the past. Where we can, we can try to mend our relationships and do what we can to create a better world. But where there is nothing we can do, we have to let it go. We have to let ourselves live, free of the burdens of guilt, and regret and anger. We can plan for the future, but we must live in the present and let go of anxiety and worries about what might be.
-- Robert Alan Silverstein

-- W. E. B. DuBois
