Hello, and welcome back to practicing human, the podcast where every day we're getting

a little better at life.

I'm your host, Corey Muscara, and in today's episode, we're going to talk about why now

is the future.

More to come on that in a moment, first let's settle in together with the sound of the

bells.

Okay, so I want to share a quote by Mark Williams.

He says, now is the future that you promised yourself last year, last month, last week.

Now is the only moment you'll ever really have.

Mindfulness is about waking up to this.

I'll read that one more time.

Now is the future that you promised yourself last year, last month, last week.

Now is the only moment you'll ever really have.

Mindfulness is about waking up to this.

Makes me think of another quote that I heard by John Capison on one of the first meditation

retreats I ever went on, where he said, this is the future of all the previous thoughts

you've ever had about the future.

You're in it.

You're already in it.

It is the purpose of all this living if it's only to get someplace else, and then when

you're there, you're not happy anyway.

You just want to be someplace else.
