<p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-style: normal;">- Seneca <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0140442103?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=revistac-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0140442103">Letters from a Stoic</a> (Letter VI)<img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=revistac-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0140442103" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></span></em></p>
<p><strong>Living in the present.</strong> What a blessing. What peace. Everywhere life echoes one great message, and whispers,  <em>&#8220;<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0517543052?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=revistac-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0517543052">Remember, Be Here Now</a>.&#8221;</em><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=revistac-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0517543052" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></p>
<p>Whether it comes from Ram Dass, or Eckhart Tolle&#8217;s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1577314808?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=revistac-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1577314808">The Power of Now</a> or Seneca, it all comes down to one thing.<img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=revistac-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1577314808" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>Now&#8230;</em></strong></p>
<p>Seneca continues:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>&#8220;&#8230; We however are tormented alike by what is past and what is to come. A number of our blessings do us harm, for memory brings back the agony of fear while foresight brings it on prematurely. No one confines his unhappiness to the present.&#8221;</em></p>
