We often have preoccupation with the future or get stuck in memories of the past, which prevents us from enjoying the present. The Power of Now teaches us how to keep consciousness awake and fully experience every moment.
Life is essentially ephemeral, every moment quickly becomes fleeting. But if we practice mindfulness, it is possible to enjoy the serenity of the present. Many people experience disillusionment because they have fixation on past mistakes, whereas the reality is that life is controlled by impermanence.
By consciously doing introspection, we can understand that true euphoria and profundity are hidden in the present. Every moment of the present is a unique manifestation, which can bring transcendence into our lives.
Therefore, to fully comprehend life, the right path is to free ourselves from reverie of the past and ambivalence of the future and accept the present while maintaining lucidity.
