Live one day at a time
Echoes, per a summary
Wikiquote has Tolle asking what “problem” you have right now, “not next year, tomorrow, or five minutes from now”. It is the moment rather than the day, and no one is credited.
- 23 BCE
“A wise deity shrouds in obscure darkness the events of the time to come, and smiles if a mortal is solicitous beyond the law of nature. Be mindful to manage duly that which is present.”
Horace, Odes. Earliest we can find, about 2,020 years earlier.
- 1997
“Ask yourself what ‘problem’ you have right now, not next year, tomorrow, or five minutes from now. What is wrong with this moment?”
Secondhand, from Wikiquote. Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now (1997).
This book is still in copyright, so we read an account of it, not the book.
