Perhaps some things are better if you don’t analyze them so much. Then you will have greater enjoyment of them and be able to see the wonderful and beautiful whole rather than all the small pieces of the puzzle. In simplier terms..."What's the world if you don't let go of the logic and just see the beauty!" :) I really agree with this article, esp. this paragraph

Information is not power, information with deed is the actual power.

Please consider giving more attention to grammatical issues of fragment sentences and proper apostrophe and comma use; your words will carry the full weight they deserve if you avoid such distracting errors.

If you think you know everything you're wrong because there's a lot to learn. I remember the quote of my instructor in college saying “The more you know, the more you do not know”.

The quote selection is inspiring and the commentary is meaningful. I particularly appreciate the Krishnamurti quote. Practicing present time consciousness - practicing being present - is an ongoing, moment-by-moment activity. Of course, mostly I forget to practice! :-) In the moments when I remember, the experience is powerful. Being present supports relationships, work, health, exercise, and wellness. Thanks for reminding me to practice being present! And, any article quoting Leonardo, Galileo, Dale Carnegie, and Khalil Gibran is well-worth reading from top to bottom!

Now this is something that speaks directly to me. My mind is so busy that sometimes I absentmindedly arrive at a place and then ask myself what I wanted to do here. Within a few moments my mind goes through a number of different thoughts forgetting about the reason that directed me to that certain place. So, presence IS what I need the most... getting rid of that noise in my head and focusing on the present moment and the one single activity that I'm undertaking in this moment.
