Why is it so?

Why is it so?

For the most part, these businesses had little awareness they were in some historically significant depression.

Why? Because the founders were too busy existing in the present—actually dealing with the situation at hand.

They didn’t know whether it would get better or worse, they just knew what was.

They had a job they wanted to do, a great idea they believed in or a product they thought they could sell. They knew they had payroll to meet.

Live in present moment.

Live in present moment.

It doesn’t matter whether this is the worst time to be alive or the best, whether you’re in a good job market or a bad one, or that the obstacle you face is intimidating or burdensome.

What matters is that right now is right now.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
