"The trouble is you think you have time."
-Jack Kornfield, in Buddha's little instruction book.

Lama Dawa's Commentary:
The trouble is you think you have time.

What a simple statement, but what Jack Kornfield, a contemporary Buddhist teacher, is reminding us is that we all tend to put things off and procrastinate.

We don't always seize the moment, and in this situation, we're talking about seizing the moment of mindfulness and presence.

We are often thinking that we can do things later, we can meditate later, we can practice later, we can even.

Extend love and kindness to others later.

Now is when we are alive and when we are living.

We don't live in the past even a moment ago, and we don't live in the future even a moment from now.

We are only here and in this moment we have tremendous opportunities to open our hearts to.

Drop our attachments to let go and to be fully present.

This is our challenge and this is our opportunity.
