Jacy Cunningham, Fitness Instructor

“We never give ourselves time to just feel and just understand how we are being in the moment. We’re always in a rush to understand something, to be something, to become something, to have something, to do something. But how are you going to engage and enjoy just being right now in the moment? If you’re always in a rush to get somewhere else, you are missing the point. It’s not to get to tomorrow, it’s not to get to an accomplishment — it’s to recognize that you are here right now and that is a divine place to be.”
