I was doing a session at Taj Hotel in Mumbai, when someone asked me if we lived in past lives. I responded honestly: “I don’t know”.
Instead, I said the only thing I focus on is today. Today is the most important day, and today is the best day to do your best work. Why today? Yesterday is gone so we cannot do much about it other than learn from it. Tomorrow, who knows if we will be around. Yesterday and tomorrow are only relevant because we are alive today. If we live every today well, yesterday becomes a good dream and tomorrow is full of hope and confidence.
How does whether we lived in past lives or not help us today? By living well and doing our best work today, we express our gratitude for being given another wonderful day. This beats worrying about past lives!
