be ageless

If access to the ecstatic eruption of simultaneous joy and peace is not a compelling enough reason to live in the present moment, maybe this will be : look younger.  It works for me.

Deepak Chopra has a new book out that applies his expertise in the mind-body connection to the topic of aging.  His larger message is that we have the ability to alter our relationship to time, and when we do, we can reap many benefits, including maintaining physical vitality through a timeless awareness instead of giving into the idea of physical deterioration.

He says,  "Your body wants to be alive here and now. To give it that gift, bring your awareness to the here and now."

Does it matter what our motivation is for striving to live in the now?  Since we are so identified with our physical human attributes, maybe that is just the thing to get us turned in the direction of where the larger part of us wants to go. 

I read about this here.
