    Are you obsessed with Now?

    I would like to be remembered as a person who was obsessed with the now or the present moment.

    In the hustle and bustle of modern day life, we spent a lot of time worrying about the future and regretting about the past.

    Very often we do not realize that the only truth is the present moment wherein we can unleash all our energy to leave a legacy behind.

    Various techniques like practicing mindfulness, doing meditation teach us the virtues of focusing on the present moment.

    The following insight mentioned by Eckhart Tolle in his book The Power of Now is very illuminating.
