By soul-searching Sara's post, you were living in the present! It is interesting to note that President Hinckley included "Be Still" in his book "Way to Be". There must be something vital about time that allows us to grow, for after this life, existence and progression will not be measured in the same way.
Good post. You gotta love Shakespeare. So, if we focus too much on the past, then our present is just too nostalgic and sometimes sad. If we care too much about the future, then our present seems like it isn't living up to expectations. Make the most of today. Good stuff!
I too remember this post...perhaps its because I struggle with this principle as well. Although slowly but surely getting better, It is still quite the challenge for me not to get worried about the future and simply concern myself with the things of today. I've tried to modify how I use my planner, and it has helped quite a bit, but I think there's a much deeper change that needs to happen in order for the principle to truly be applied. We'll get there!!!
