Meditations XXXVII

From Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations":


“Let not things future trouble thee. For if necessity so require that they come to pass, thou shalt (whensoever that is) be provided for them with the same reason, by which whatsoever is now present, is made both tolerable and acceptable unto thee.”

Indeed! Modern research has affirmed this ancient lesson: live in the present. Nothing has ever happened in the past and nothing will ever happen in the future; everything happens in the now. Be attuned to your surroundings and aware of your environment.
