There Is No Past, There Is No Future!
Eckhart Tolle said this wonderful Zen concept. The reason it’s so wonderful is that if you accept this as a fact, then you’ll never have to worry about anything again. How’s that for a start? 
Everything you can think of, that makes you worried, is only a thought. It is never something you have to deal with right now. And if it’s not right now, then you have no control over it and yet you feel the need to do something about it. No wonder you start feeling helpless at some point.
The other source of bad emotions is the past. No matter if that’s 20 years or 20 minutes ago. Letting go of the past is crucial if you want to live a happy life. Holding on to it can limit your potential. We’re talking about the bad things here. You CAN let go of them. Blaming others for things you’ve attracted is like denying your power to create your reality.
All you have is the present, and if you’re waiting for some future moment when everything will be nice and sunny, you’ll never reach it. If you see the present as some obstacle between you and your happiness, then that happiness will never come. The present holds your only means to get where you want, and if you deny that, you’ll never go anywhere. If you accept it, the sky is the limit.

I am so greatful to Eckhart Tolle and Oprah for turning me onto Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor and her beautiful book “”My Stroke of Insight”". Her story is amazing and her gift to all of us is a book purchase away I’m happy to say.
Dr Taylor was a Harvard brain scientist when she had a stroke at age 37. What was amazing was that her left brain was shut down by the stroke – where language and thinking occur – but her right brain was fully functioning. She experienced bliss and nirvana and the way she writes about it (or talks about it in her now famous TED talk) is incredible.
What I took away from Dr. Taylor’s book above all, and why I recommend it so highly, is that you don’t have to have a stroke or take drugs to find the deep inner peace that she talks about. Her book explains how. “”I want what she’s having”", and thanks to this wonderful book, I can! Thank you Dr. Taylor, and thank you Eckhart and Oprah.
