Being in the Present

The past brings forth the present and the present brings forth the future. The past is already gone in this very moment. So what will thinking about the past bring about. The future is yet to come so why think about the future. The only real thing that exists is this very present moment-this moment, this minute, this second, this very atomic portion of this very moment. Live therefore in the present. Be in the present in the fullest. Living in the present with the fullest awareness and consciousness will bring you the best possible future ever imagined. And when this very moment passes, your past has also become amazing.
Everything passes from the present, it ceases to exist as soon as it passes. When you step into a river, the water in which you were planning to step into has already passed. Therefore the very next footstep will never be in the same water. Hence the saying, " You can never step into the same river twice".
Living in the past or using the past as a reference simply makes one depressed and regretful. Living in the future thinking about what will happen, makes the mind restless and anxious. Why deprive yourself of the fullest possible present moment thus?
