today, right now

focus on current moment, that's real life; past is just a memory; future is just imagination.
be grateful for whatever is going on in current moment.
if you can't find a good reason, how about being grateful for being able to experience the current moment...

Spiritual Gems: Sant Kirpal Singh

Sant Kirpal Singh: Questions and answers

Aphorisms On Service

To serve is to be aware of the needs of the moment.

Opportunities to serve are opportunities to grow; these opportunities may pass, so seize them.

Service is what meets the need; it need not be perfect.

Take care of the little things and the big things will take care of themselves.

Service doesn't mean serving when it's convenient to serve.

Being a servant means being in readiness, not having your life completely filled with personal commitments that keep you too busy to respond to others.

In service we take on the garment of humility and express our commitment.

Gratitude

If you can just appreciate each thing, one by one, then you will have pure gratitude.
Even though you observe just one flower, that one flower includes everything.

- Shunryu Suzuki RoshiBranching Streams Flowing in the Dark
