Many of us suffer from a peculiar problem: an inability to properly inhabit what we call ‘the present’https://t.co/N24u8YzCf3 (http://twitter.com/TheSchoolOfLife/status/780368930846171136?s=17)

Much of what ruins the present is sheer *anxiety. The present always contains an enormous number of possibilities, some hugely gruesome, which we are constantly aware of in the background. Anything could theoretically happen, an earthquake, an aneurysm, a rejection – which gives rise to the non-specific anxiety that trails most of us around all the time; the simple dread at the **unknownness of what is to come

*Seth,’s post on anxiety

**John‘s quote ..

have to be listening in the now.. and be flexible in the now.. for that to happen
