About This Talk
“Be present” is easy to say. Chris explains what it means through the idea of the internal now: the past is the past, the future hasn’t happened yet, and the present moment is all anyone has. He asks listeners to stay with what they’re feeling right now, starting with how they listen to other people.
Key Ideas
- The internal now is the moment you’re in, since the past is over and the future hasn’t happened yet.
- Being present means noticing what you feel now, not telling a story about the future or the past.
- Listen fully instead of planning your reply, and you’ll be more aware of your surroundings and the opportunities around you.
“The only thing we have is the moment that we’re in.”
