It is easy for someone to say, stay in the present moment, but doing it is so much harder. Actually it’s quite easy to do; what’s difficult is to stay there for any length of time for it to be beneficial. If you are seeking the present to attain peace because your past is too painful, or you don’t like your current situation, or perhaps you’re not looking forward to something in your future, then it’s going to be almost impossible to stay in a state of peace in the present moment.
