Live Simply In February: Presence

  When you start paying attention, you realize that most great spiritual teachers are fundamentally saying the same things: Stop trying to control what's out of your control. What you think, you create. And perhaps most importantly: be present. We mere mortals seemingly can't help but to wish we could return--at least temporarily--to the past. When we aren't craning our necks backwards, we're fretting about the future. We're pulled away from the present, too, by ...
