All I Ever Needed To Know I Learned from My Cat...

There is a famous book about everything the author ever needed to know they learned in kindergarten. I would argue also that everything I ever needed to know I learned from my cat. My cat Cedrick is our resident Zen master. Cedrick sleeps most of the day but when Cedrick is awake he usually focuses on one thing and one thing alone. Cedrick doesn't worry about tomorrow or what he is going to do later; He only concerns himself with the present moment. Too many times we as people are consumed by our past as well as our future while living in the present. We need to focus on the present day and present moment because that is ultimately the only thing we can control. So be like a cat and focus on the present; the future will take care of itself.
