Want to really live in the present?
Embrace life’s nasty bits, too
By Oliver Burkemann

PRESENT is for all makers and dreamers. For all dreamers who make. For anyone creating something and challenging themselves on purpose. We share ways of overcoming procrastination and self-doubts that might hold us back from being truly present and tackle our favorite unrealized project.
Real generosity towards the future lies in giving all to the present.
Albert Camus
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That’s why it’s called the present.

Preview: PRESENT Incense Holders with Rezine
PRESENT a magazine about creating and self-reflection where we speak with makers about their path and philosophies in order to demystify the creative process. It’s a space for honest conversations about discipline, fear, career paths and confidence. PRESENT is here to inspire and push, reflect and trigger, motivate and initiate: to get closer to what we want and what we know we need.
