I can figure this out

To fear andworry about imaginary difficulties is nothing but your own illusions. Even ifnothing occurs, you might already be flooded by waves of pessimistic illusions.

Those who’velost their mindfulness tend to think that “what if I cannot do it?” However,those with mindfulness believe that “I can try to figure this out.”

For thosewithin your reach, just make efforts for it. For those beyond your capacity,you can sow the right seeds in the first place.

Whatever theexternal circumstances, it is necessary to dwell your mind in the presentmoment rather than struggle with the past or fret over the future.

Living in the present moment is to alive both inone’s body and mind, with no illusions nor worries or fear. In such a state,the mind does not wander about but concentrates and dwells at ease in thecurrent moment. With such a mind, one is aware of what he is doing right nowand what it has to do with his past and future.

In contrast, the idea of Carpe Diem merely steals“living in the present moment” as an excuse for advocating hedonism anddisregarding the future.

我可以去想办法

担心、害怕、各种困难，都是自己的妄想。事情还没有来，妄想悲观的风浪就已经把自己淹没了。

失去正念的人总是想

“

我做不到，怎么办

”

，具足正念的人会想

“

我可以去想办法

”

，眼前能做的去做，眼前做不到的种因。无论外境发生什么，都把握好自己当下的心，不纠结过去，不忧虑未来。

活在当下是指人身心合一，不妄想、不忧惧，心不到处乱跑，而能专注、安住，知道自己现在做的事情是什么，与自己的过去、未来有什么关系。那种及时行乐，不考虑未来的思想，只是借用

“

活在当下

”

为借口而已。
