Treasure today

Treasure today while you live it. Give the beauty of this moment the full attention it deserves.

Later can wait for later. Let the rich texture of now brush against every part of your being.

Harbor no sadness for a past that has faded. All joy is still brand new, no matter how long ago it was born.

Worry, worry, worry, all it does is tie you down. Give anger no place from which to spring, nor resentment a dark corner where it can hide.

Instead, provide wonder, joy, curiosity and goodness a living vessel to fill with their magic. All the richness of life is now focused on now, and you are here to live it.

Whatever your circumstance or condition, life has a unique beauty for you to express right now. Feel the accumulated joy, letting it spill into the world to make new joy in this moment.

— Ralph Marston
