It is there as it is, not in the past, not in the future, just in the present moment. To live in the present gives a person true happiness as well as the perception of being connected to the world.

About This Quote

The quote, “It is there as it is, not in the past, not in the future, just in the present moment. To live in the present gives a person true happiness as well as the perception of being connected to the world” by Thich Nhat Hanh was stated to have been taken from his book entitled “Being Peace”. This quote has since then become a part of many other great sayings. It is true that living in the present moment gives a person true happiness because all our actions are done for a reason.

However people should not take this saying too literally because it could lead them to becoming all too attached to the past or future. Many people fail to do anything other than what they think will give them contentment in life, but this is not always the best thing for them because doing nothing at all could lead to depression.
