Living In The Moment

Let Go, and Respond - Thich Nhat Hanh

Let go, and respond to the immediate needs around you. Don't get caught in some false perception of yourself. There will always be another person more gifted than you. And don't perceive your position as important, but be ready to serve at any moment. If you can let go of who you think you are, you will become free - ready to love others. If you learn to see your impermanence, you will be able to live for the moment and not miss opportunities to love by pushing things into the future.

How much freedom would there be in living life moment by moment, being completely in NOW rather than reliving the past or being anxious for what's to come? Same thoughts in a book I'm reading/reviewing this weekend - it's for freedom that we've been set free, so why don't we live like it?
