If Right Now You’re Thinking: “I Can’t Believe She Did That Last Week,” Or “I Can’t Believe

If right now you’re thinking: “I can’t believe she did that last week,” or “I can’t believe he said that yesterday,” and you’re get angry or upset about it, you are the cause of your suffering in this moment, not the other.

A person may well have been the source of your suffering at the time, but if they’re not physically present in your life in this moment, they cannot be the cause of your suffering Now.

As Jack Kornfield observed: “The person who betrayed you is sunning themselves on a beach in Hawaii and you’re knotted up in hatred. Who is suffering?”

Don’t waste this moment on someone who isn’t even there with you… let it go and embrace the present moment: it’s where peace is.
