Living In The Moment

Do you live in the present, really? I tend to have a bad habit of living in the past and the future but never in the present. My mind is very intractable. I worry about the future, whereas my past holds me hostage. Having this perplexing problem is indeed a burden. So, I asked one of my friend, what if this, what if that happens. He, obviously a wise person, answered in a simple and yet intriguing way, " Live in the moment, the wisdom you gained by living in the present will allow you to act in the future. Most importantly your intention must be pure. Right thinking, as the Buddha taught."
His advice again to me is, " Go, meditate, do not expect to progress quickly, for that very desire is a craving by itself. " He will be going to Thailand to join the Sangha order soon, for 3 months, and I would like to wish him the best of luck and hope he be happy all the time. Our world needs more wise people like him.
