NOTE

The Importance of Being Present

Being present is essential for fulfilled relationships. No matter how wealthy or free you are, if you're not fully present, you can't give your fullest love. So when your daughter or puppy greets you, forget about work and be there for them. It doesn't matter how much money or time you have if you're not present with the ones you love. Download the waking up app and start being present now!

I'd say being present. And I know that this is a, that there's a, this could easily turn into an Eckhart Tolle cliche. But I really believe that you could have all the money in the world. And then if you're not present, you know, what's the point? You could have all the free time in the world. But if you're not present, what's the point? And, but the thing that really moved me about presence is like, is this realization, I think it was Sam Harris that pointed it out. He said, if you're not moves on that Chris Williamson interview, he said, if you're not present, or if there's any hindrance on your presence, you are not giving your fullest love to the people you care the most about. Think about it, right? If your daughter comes home or your puppy greets you at the door and you're thinking about the nine emails you have yet to send, which is me all the time, you can't fully love that person while you're thinking about those nine emails. And it doesn't matter how much fucking money you have. And it doesn't matter how much fucking free time you have. Because you're going to think about something that's going to take you away from the people that you love most.
