A MEDITATION

Confine yourself to the present. The present is all we have to give up.

Marcus Aurelius

A reflection

You can't give up the past — you already did. You can't give up the future — it isn't yours yet. The present is the only real estate you actually own, and it changes hands every second. Use it while it's deeded to you.
