Being Present and In the Moment

Can we really overstress the importance of the here and now? I'd say I spend far too much time focused on a future they may never come, and far too little time focusing on the present that is at hand.

What if I had a proper understanding of allowing interruptions but not distractions?

What if I spent more time in the presence of God instead of rushing to the next thing? No one in the history of mankind ever left God's presence worse off.
