Accept what is, Let go of what was, and have faith in what will be. To allow oneself to be carried away by a multitude of conflicting concerns, to surrender to too many demands, to commit to too many projects, to want to help everyone in everything is itself to succumb to the violence of our times. Frenzy destroys our inner capacity for peace. It destroys the fruitfulness of our work, because it kills the root of inner wisdom which makes work fruitful.
If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present.
