All you really need to do is accept this moment fully. You are then at ease in the here and now and at ease with yourself. -Eckhart Tolle
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the ‘present’. – Master Oogway -Kung Fu Panda
Be happy in the moment, that's enough. Each moment is all we need, not more.-  Mother Teresa
Mindfulness is simply being aware of what is happening right now without wishing it were different; enjoying the pleasant without holding on when it changes (which it will); being with the unpleasant without fearing it will always be this way (which it won’t). – James Baraz
