Buddha Quote ascension chakras now

"The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.
Buddha Quote".

not to get stuck on the past or future as the only time you can actively change is the present now.

the now is your most important time as it is the only place you will ever be in, so you need to be able to live in the now, and conscious of the eternal now, all other things are distractions, but obviously not saying you don't have to be organised for the upcoming now or future now, but it is all the same thing, in mysticism.

financially i would say the same thing, but money wise we have been put into a system built around the never never with a system of credit, so you still have to plan ahead in modern living even if financial matter's go against buddhist or spiritual concepts or principals, just have to try and be ahead with financies, as the credit crunch showed how people got over reached with there money borrowing.

the buddha says

think like buddha, then you will know happiness, well that might not be so straight forward, but we can try a little understanding, at the least.



buddha says:

"Joy comes not through possession or ownership, but through a wise and loving heart."


i dont think this saying get rid of everything like you see some budhists do, like they get rid of literally all there posessions, and walk round in only a robe all day.

no, but what it is saying is to understand your life and what possessions are just that items that you possess.

so keep your possessions, but know what they are, and more importantly understand that they do not make you, but it is more your heart and wisdom that makes you the person you are.
