Three Fundamental Questions of Life

Some teachings of the Buddha which I find very useful and hope you may too.

Q1. What is the MOST IMPORTANT time?
A1. NOW - there is no time better than NOW. If you have to do it, do it now. Don't procrastinate.

Q2. WHO is the MOST IMPORTANT person in your life?
A2. The person you are with right now. Live in the now. There is no point in being physically present with someone but be mentally someplace else.

Q3. WHAT is the MOST IMPORTANT thing that you can do?
A3. CARE. If you can care for someone, show love, respect and concern, then you will truly make a difference.

So if you care for the person you are with right now, that is the most important thing that you can do. We can all live for the future but if that means ignoring the present, then we are really poorer for the experience.

Cheers!
