Everything but this moment is just in your mind

The past is just in your memory. It isn’t happening any more.

The only thing that is real is what is happening right now, in this exact moment.

You can still learn from your past and plan for the future, but always remember that the only thing that is real is this present moment in time right now.  

Nothing else. 

Once you understand the true significance of this, it will change your life.

Oh, and I need to make sure I keep facing the same direction when I move forward otherwise I'll crawl in circles "? Does that sound like something a baby would be thinking before it starts crawling? Do you think that the baby waits till it has a perfect plan in its mind before it attempts to crawl? Does it think " I can do this. And if I can start crawling and reach there, everyone will start praising me and respect me for my crawling skills " ? Can you imagine a baby saying something like that to try and motivate itself?
