Somewhere along my journey in life, I was given the precious present. With it, I became happy and realised that each day I was in joy. Aware of this precious present increased my joy and I started feeling so much gratitude for this precious present that filled me each day with more joy.
I was feeling so much gratitude and joy that I started getting rid of my unwanted baggage which I realised was making my journey of life heavy.
I threw away so much unwanted baggage that I felt light and it made me even more happy.
I wondered and wondered .... all of this started when I received this precious present, because it made me joy-full and feeling gratitude and thankful for the being who gave me this wonderful precious present.
It is like possessing a special magical gift, but, of course, a gift is a present, no?
That is why I always call it my precious present.
Many of my friends noticed that I am always happy and full of joy even when anegative circumstance seem to hit me. They were curious and wanted to know what happened to me.

Had I been to a guru because they would want to meet such a guru themselves.
Had I won the lottery?
Had I inherited?
To each of their queries my answer was a simple 'No'. When I told them it is because I have a precious present, they first did not believe their ears, then started laughing so hard thinking, I am sure, that I was crazy. And when I told them that yes, maybe I am crazy, but I am happy and joyful, they even laughed more and more.
When they calmed down, seeing I fell into silence, they asked me to show them my precious present and I asked them to come and see me in the evening at my place. The time came and so did they ... they all came with a curiosity that was eating them.
When we all settled down, they wanted to know who gave me this precious present I would soon be showing them? And so, after clearing my throat and looking into their eyes, I started telling them.
"This precious present I always carry with me because when I lose it, I become sad." I noticed this was not making sense to them and so I elaborated fully.
It is wise for me to think about the past & learn from it, but it is not wise to get stuck in the past, because that is how I lose myself and the Precious Present.
It is wise for me to think about the future, to prepare for the future, but not to get stuck in the future because that is how I lose myself and the Precious Present.
And, when I lose myself, I lose what is most precious to me.
IT IS ALL SO SIMPLE! The precious present is the Present! Here I am filled and nourished.
It was not easy to be in the present. Learning to be in the present, I had to do it over and over again until it was a part of me.

Because forever is always the present. The present is simply Who I am … Just the Way I am … right NOW.
And it is precious … I am precious!
Because I am the precious present!
