It is written that when the Kotzker Rebbe was on his death bed, all his students gathered around him and asked, "Master, please tell us, what was the most important thing you did in your life?" The Kabbalist thought for a moment and answered,
"What I am doing this very minute."
What does this teach and reinforce for us? Thinking about the past or worrying about the future is a waste of time. It only takes us away from the importance of the moment we're in.
Today, be present in whatever it is you are doing. It is the most important thing you have ever done.
