Dr. Madrid discusses a popular quote attributed to the ancient Chinese Philosopher, Lao Tzu. A meme for this quote was seen on the IG page of @medicine_remixed and then reposted on @ericmadridmd. Upon seeing this quote, I realized I needed to explore it in a bit more detail.

“If you are depressed you are living in the past.

If you are anxious you are living in the future.

If you are at peace you are living in the present.”

― Lao Tzu
