"Happiness exists only in the present; when you let the mind wander to the past or future, you sabotage your joy. Embrace the now, for the future is merely a continuation of this moment."
According to Osho, happiness lasts only as long as you inhabit the present; the mind sabotages joy by dragging you into regrets of the past and desires for a permanent future state. Drop both. If you can be happy now, you can always be, because the future arrives as the present. Guard awareness, not duration.
Stay in the now; don’t worry about past or future—if you’re happy this moment, you’ll be happy whenever each new moment comes.
