You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope.

Thomas Merton
About This Quote

The power of the present moment is the key to happiness. If you can embrace each new day as it comes and trust that everything is going to be okay, then you will be able to relax and know that life is going to work out. You don't need to worry about the future and focus only on the present moment. When you live in the moment, everything is fine and there's no need for worry.
