“Emotions are slowly killing us because we keep channeling them into things that don't exist – the future, the past. We don't tap into the astounding power of the present moment. We're too caught up in constructing what "should" happen or trying to understand what already did. And intellectually, everyone claims to know this – you know, live in the present, live in the moment. But it remains an annoying platitude because we haven't felt it yet. You need to open your apertures to the power that's in front of you, not just keep throwing your old shit in the moment, tensing yourself up and sustaining the bullshit. Your power to create something completely new, and even miraculous, is resting right in front of you. Right now. When you feel it, you'll work with it. Get out of your head. It can show you the way, but it can't tell you to where.”
