24 Quotes by John Kuypers

To live in the present, you need to act or accept but never stay stuck.

When you do what's important now for you, you create a past that leaves you ready to handle the present. By default, the future is taking care of itself as you make decisions that are acceptable to you no matter what happens tomorrow.

When you are living in the present, you know what's important now for you and you act on that knowing.

When you are authentic without an intent to harm others, you give yourself an awesome feeling which is the feeling of self-love.

In its highest form, not judging is the ultimate act of forgiveness.

A judgment with an evil design comes about when we compare a person to our pre-conceived beliefs about what is right or wrong and then condemn that person.

You cannot do what's important now for you if your mind cannot accept what is happening in this present moment.

...as long as you are motivated by the approval of others, you cannot know with confidence whether the decisions you are making in your life are what's right for you... pg 102

Each of us is the best we can be when we are fully present, focused yet relaxed, curious yet non-judgmental, committed yet flexible.
