Today is
the most
important day
of our lives.
-Thich Nhat Hanh
I love this saying. It is a magnet that I keep on my fridge as a daily reminder that this is the only day I have. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow has not yet arrived. I must live as if this is all there is...because THIS is all there is!
As yogis we can go even deeper and learn to cherish each moment, not necessarily for the good or the bad but for what it is giving to us. If the moment is giving us joy, then we feel joy. If the moment is giving us grief, then we feel grief. The lesson...or rather the wisdom of today's words...is to not let our emotions "rule" us, but rather to experience the emotions of every moment with in the day...it's all that we have and tomorrow it will be gone!
Peace for now :)
