Examining the Inequitable Status of the Past.

"Imagine savoring your favorite cup of coffee, when suddenly you realize that it doesn't taste as good as it did yesterday. We often engage in such conversations, comparing our current experiences to the past and lamenting how things used to be better. However, this comparison is both unfair and unproductive. The past is nothing more than a memory, and it has no right to be given the same status as the present moment, which is within our grasp and under our control.

By recognizing the value of the present moment, we can improve our experiences and enjoy life to the fullest. The act of meditating allows us to let go of the past and future, and focus our attention on the here and now. The current moment deserves our undivided attention, and we should not diminish it by comparing it to the past.

Whether it's the people around us, the food we eat, or the weather we experience, everything in the present moment has one expectation from us - to pay attention. We should not disrespect the current moment by constantly looking back or thinking ahead. Instead, we should focus on being fully present and engaged in the here and now.

Remember, reading newsletters, listening to gurus, or engaging in other activities cannot substitute for meditation. In order to truly regain focus on the present moment, we must make time to sit down and meditate. Even if it's just for five minutes at a time, let this newsletter motivate you to make a start.

So, let's celebrate the present moment and enjoy life as it comes. Happy meditating!"
