More From Carl Von Clausewitz

I think we can learn a lot about a person in the very moment that language fails them. in the very moment they they have to be more creative than they would have imagined in order to communicate. it's the very moment that they have to dig deeper than the surface to find words, and at the same time, it's a moment when they want to communicate very badly. they're digging deep and projecting out at the same time.
Thinking Order Creative
How often are you worrying about the present moment? the present moment is usually all right. if you're worrying, you're either agonizing over the past which you should have forgotten long ago, or else you're apprehensive over the future which hasn't even come yet. we tend to skip over the present moment which is the only moment god gives any of us to live.
Past Long Ago Should Have
Most of them [american politicians] are men of undoubted charm, ability, and incredible energy, and yet too often they lack purpose or appetite for anything beyond their own careers. with few notable exceptions, they are simply men who want to be loved.
Men Careers Energy
A god who draws near out of love, the holy father continued, walks with his people, and this walk comes to an unimaginable point. we could never have imagined that the same lord would become one of us and walk with us, be present with us, present in his church, present in the eucharist, present in his word, present in the poor, he is present, walking with us. and this is closeness: the shepherd close to his flock, close to his sheep, whom he knows, one by one.
Love Father Sheep
Man can only be certain about the present moment. but is that quite true either? can he really know the present? is he in a position to make any judgment about it? certainly not. for how can a person with no knowledge of the future understand the meaning of the present? if we do not know what future the present is leading us toward, how can we say whether this present is good or bad, whether it deserves our concurrence, or our suspicion, or our hatred?
Men Hatred Certain
We can smile, breathe, walk, and eat our meals in a way that allows us to be in touch with the abundance of happiness that is available. we are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. we know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. but we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive. every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy, and serenity. we need only to be awake, alive in the present moment.
