About

Future, n. That period of time in which our affairs prosper, our friends are true and our happiness is assured. – Ambrose Bierce, The Devil’s Dictionary

"Only this now" is inspired by the great spiritual teacher, Eckhart Tolle, primarily through his teachings in "The Power of Now". As we have read and reread his teachings, it has become clear that to achieve a joyful and meaningful life, we need to focus on only one thing -- NOW. Everything else is either an anticipation (future) or a memory (past). It is by focusing on what's happening right now that we bring satisfaction and contentment to our lives.

The mind likes to attach a premium to the future and with that, most of us go a lifetime without noticing life! The mind doesn't like to focus on what is right in front of our eyes. And being conditioned from a young age, it takes time to retrain it. This is not a "feel-good" quick fix - it's a journey into yourself, deep into yourself, a journey of discovery. 

So as you go about your everyday activities, whether that's drinking your coffee, eating your lunch or dinner, working out, having a conversation or working at your job, remember only this moment, that one action you are taking is what you need to be fully aware of and immersed in. And therein, you will find amazing joy and internal peace.

On this site, we offer some items to remind us as we go about our daily activities, to focus only on one thing at a time. Look around and see what works for you. We are always adding to our collection. So if you don't see something that you want, let us know via info@onlythisnow.com
