The Present and In All Things Be Grateful

“A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future.” –Albert Einstein

The present is also the only place where happiness and peace can be experienced. Sadly though, the past and future are where many people choose to live their lives.

Equally important is that whatever happens in the now, there is always a choice in how to respond.

How you decide respond to what happens to you will be the ultimate deciding factor as to the quality of success, peace and happiness you will have in life.

Be Grateful For What You Have Now

Part of living in the present moment is taking the time to be grateful for what you have now (not in the past or in the future). If you are constantly focused on things you don’t have, you aren’t taking the time to appreciate what you have right now at this moment.

One way to practice gratitude is to write a list of things you are grateful for and review that list on a daily basis. Try to write at least three things you are grateful for in your life right now.

Alternatively, you can write out as many things as you can think that you’re grateful for.

In short, in all things be grateful.
