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.

“Now is the accepted time, not tomorrow, not some
more convenient season. It is today that our best
work can be done and not some future day or future
year. It is today that we fit ourselves for the
greater usefulness of tomorrow. Today is the seed
time, now are the hours of work, and tomorrow comes
the harvest and the playtime.”
-- W.
E. B. DuBois

Finish
each day and be done with it. You have done what
you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept
in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is
a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with
too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old
nonsense. ~ Ralph
Waldo Emerson
Each
moment of the year has its own beauty… a picture
