Live In The Now - Tumblr Posts
Live in the “now”
Live in the present moment.
Good thoughts, words, actions and intentions:)
Always FEEL you already have “enough” in the present moment. To always attract having enough.
“True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.”
—Seneca
Being grateful in the present moment/Feeling grateful in the now is key to serendipity
“Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life.”
—Eckhart Tolle
“Always say “yes” to the present moment. What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to what already is? What could be more insane than to oppose life itself, which is now and always now? Surrender to what is. Say “yes” to life — and see how life suddenly starts working for you rather than against you.”
—Eckhart Tolle
When we are grateful in the present moment, we will always be grateful in future present moments since now is all there is.
Cultivating a Life of Gratitude, Appreciation, and Countless Blessings

It's easy to get caught up in our daily routines and forget to appreciate the simple joys that surround us. However, taking the time to acknowledge and express gratitude for the blessings we have can bring immeasurable benefits to our lives. In this blog post, we will delve into the transformative power of gratitude, appreciation, and counting our blessings.
1. The Power of Gratitude:
Gratitude is much more than merely saying "thank you." It is a mindset and an attitude that fosters happiness, contentment, and overall well-being. When we focus on what we are grateful for instead of dwelling on what we lack, our perspective shifts, allowing us to see opportunities and possibilities previously overlooked.
Practicing gratitude regularly has been scientifically proven to reduce stress levels, improve mental health, enhance relationships, and even boost physical health. By acknowledging the good in our lives - big or small - we create a ripple effect that positively impacts not only ourselves but also those around us.
2. The Art of Appreciation:
Appreciation goes hand in hand with gratitude; it involves recognizing the value and worth of people, experiences, nature's beauty, and everything else that enriches our lives. Taking a moment each day to appreciate the little things can lead to profound joy amidst life's challenges.
Expressing appreciation towards others strengthens relationships by fostering trust and connection. Whether it's a heartfelt compliment or a thoughtful gesture showing someone how much they mean to us, these acts of appreciation can make a significant difference in their lives too.
3. Counting Our Blessings:
Counting our blessings means consciously acknowledging all the positive aspects of our lives – from material possessions to cherished memories and personal achievements. While challenges may arise along life's journey, focusing on what brings us joy and fulfillment can help us navigate through difficult times with resilience.
Keeping a gratitude journal or reflecting on our blessings at the end of each day allows us to cultivate an attitude of abundance. It reminds us that even amidst hardships, there is always something to be grateful for. By shifting our focus from what we lack to what we already have, we create space for more blessings to enter our lives.
Gratitude, appreciation, and counting our blessings are powerful practices that can transform our lives in remarkable ways. Embracing these attitudes not only enhances our own well-being but also cultivates positive energy within our communities and beyond.
Let's make a conscious effort to express gratitude regularly, appreciate the people around us, and count our blessings every day. As we open ourselves up to a mindset of gratitude and appreciation, we'll find that life becomes richer, more meaningful, and filled with countless reasons to be thankful.
Remember: Gratitude is the key that unlocks the door to a truly fulfilled life. Start today and reap the rewards tomorrow!
