Now

This is it … the moment you have been waiting for! The future never comes, for there is no past, no future, and in reality no present. Try to pin down the present moment. You cannot do it. Time is like an ever-moving conveyor belt. Try to capture a moment and it slips past before you know it. And then you are disappointed, for you tried to hold onto something that is ever-moving and is in actuality an illusion.

So how to live without frustration, in freedom and peace? Realize there is an aspect of you that is beyond time and space. Shifting your awareness to that aspect, simply step backward off the conveyor belt. This is the true “now.” This is what is meant by “being in the now.” From here you can observe past, present, and future in peace and decide how you will think and act when you step back onto the ever-moving, oft frustrating conveyor belt.
