i saw this quote on a wall in a busy mall in Hong Kong. it blew my mind at how effective this simple lesson can do wonders for you. the quote, from the founder of Reiki (a form of energy healing), is actually a little longer than that. but i feel this simple quote is more than enough to bring great awareness to you and your mind.
i heard Eckhart Tolle talk about this somewhere. I am not sure where i heard it, but he mentioned that somebody asked him how they could be present and not to worry or let their mind wander everyday, every week, month, year for the rest of their lives?
Tolle responded with something along the lines of “no, that is much too complicated. all you have to do is not worry and be present in this moment.”
simple, right? :p
