🕔 Now is the only place you can be
Book of TREE 2.06
You can imagine the future
and the past, but
the only place you can be is
now.
I’m not referring to mindfulness.
Literally, factually
the only place you can be is
now.
Imagine the future: make plans.
Learn from the past: make corrections.
But the time to act is
now.
There is nowhere else.

One of the biggest keys to success at anything hard is believing that you can figure it out as you go along. A lot of people won't start until they figure it out. And because most hard things can't be figured out in advance, they never start.

The only way to live is awareness of this present moment. Don’t miss a thing, on purpose. Think less. Notice breath in nostrils to get back in your body, out of your mind (so restful) and enjoy the brevity or length of quiet within. Gracefulness is the reward.
