We will have exchanged presents during December 2020, but we will also have been either locked down and prevented from meeting with loved ones. I have compassion for all of you who have been affected by the loss of family members during December too. Unfortunately you will remember this event every single year for the rest of your lives.

Our human drama on this planet is driven by our thoughts of the past and the future.

There’s nothing wrong with thinking about the past and thinking about the future but you don’t have to live there. Spending time with your thoughts in the present is a better and more rewarding strategy. We only ever have this precise moment. We can all do better, so let’s make 2021 a year of staying in ‘The Present’.
