7 essential lessons from the book "The Power of Now"
1. โRealize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life.โ
2. โAny action is often better than no action, especially if you have been stuck in an unhappy situation for a long time. If it is a mistake, at least you learn something, in which case it's no longer a mistake. If you remain stuck, you learn nothing.โ
3. โIf you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place. Primary reality is within; secondary reality without.โ
4. โIf your mind carries a heavy burden of past, you will experience more of the same. The past perpetuates itself through lack of presence. The quality of your consciousness at this moment is what shapes the future.โ
5. โNothing has happened in the past; it happened in the Now. Nothing will ever happen in the future; it will happen in the Now.โ
6. โWhere there is anger there is always pain underneath.โ
7. โAccept โ then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it. Make it your friend and ally, not your enemy. This will miraculously transform your whole life.โ
