Wisdom

You are where your thoughts are. See to it
that your thoughts are where you want to be.

Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav, (1772 - 1810), great-grandson of Balschem, Rabbis and storytellers

That is difficult for most people. They are often not even with their thoughts in the here and now. They care for a future that does not yet exist and mourn a past that is over and not repeatable. Wirmüssen learn again to be there with our thoughts, where we are and what we are doing. Only then we can live a good life. We will suddenly discover beautiful things that we previously overlooked. It also happens to us but then the bad things. But seen by us, we can act.

Yes, Mr. Krumpos, just as it is. We have to train it.

We should live for this moment, here and now. Too often, our minds are rehashing the past or anticipating the future; meanwhile the present is not attended to properly. What we do right here, right now becomes a memory of yesterday and impacts tomorrow. Done poorly, life as lived today would end in becoming a “has-been,” or will continue as a “wannabe,” without accomplishing a lot.
