Do you ever feel like you are in too much of a hurry? We often worry about what happened yesterday or what will happen tomorrow. But there is a way to find peace right now.
A beautiful new song, "The Most Important Time Is NOW," shares three secrets for a happy life. These secrets come from a famous story by the writer Leo Tolstoy, which was also made into a popular book about a wise turtle named Leo.
The Three Questions
In the story, someone wants to know the answers to three big questions:
When is the most important time?
The answer is NOW. This moment is the only time we really have, where our experiences take shape, and where our decisions are made.
Who is the most important person?
The answer is the person you are with. The person standing right in front of you is the most important person in the world at this moment.
What is the most important thing to do?
The answer is to love, care, and share. Our main job is to show love and care to those who need our help.

Living with "Kindfulness"
The song calls this "mindful in breath" and "kindful in heart."
Mindful means we pay attention to our breathing and stay calm.
Kindful means we keep our hearts open to others.
Be mindful in breath, Be kindful in heart. That’s where the healing and wisdom start.
When we live this way, we don't have to look far for happiness. It is already here! Take a deep breath, look at the person next to you, and see how you can help them today.
