Become intensely conscious of the present moment.
Always say 'yes' to the present moment... Surrender to what is. Say 'yes' to life - and see how life starts suddenly to start working for you rather than against you.
The actual experience of awakening can only be in the present moment.
The future is only a thought form. Work with the present moment. Be with what is.
The future does not exist, because nobody has ever experienced it. You can only ever experience a present moment.
