The Advantage Of…

Me and mom, after the man-on-man shoot-off at the 1989 Bianchi Cup. I still have her highly decorated hat. 

“Most people treat the present moment as if it were an obstacle that they need to overcome. Since the present moment is life itself, it is an insane way to live.”
-Eckhart Tolle

If you are not enjoying the present moment, you are thinking about what isn’t happening.

When you notice disturbing thoughts, note also that the act of noticing created a brief but observable mental pause. Calmly, relax into the pause, the silence… 

And experience the advantage of being aware: disturbing personal states, such as desire, anxiety and worry, simply do not exist.
