>nobody can focus on the now. the so called now is all there
>is and all there ever will be. THIS is all there is! you are
>already in it! woohoo!

You can use focus to enter a state of now, but yes, all there is and all there ever will be is in fact NOW. WOOHOO is right! lol

If people only realized how much power the present moment holds, they would free themselves from stress and self destruction.

Example.

When you are worried about your health in the future. You invest a ton of negative energy worrying about something that does not exist yet and ironically, this is more destructive to your health than the possibility of your health deteriorating.

Some people spend a lot of time feeling guilty over the past. You can never reach the past, it is gone, it is never to return, and it is insoluble. The solution is simple, are the things you feel guilty over happening right now? Of course not! So why invest so much energy into guilt and pain over them right now when you cannot go back?

Identifying the present moment free's you from the future and past and the worry and stress completely dissipates and suddenly you find yourself filled with joy, for simply being.
