Guys,
this week, I had a mayor realization: Life is nothing more than just 1 day!
Why? Because ultimately all you have is one day. All you have is today! Think about it: the past is the past — nothing you can do about that anymore (apart from changing it in your memory that it becomes as supportive as it can be for you today!) and the future is nothing less then yet another day; one day at a time (if you are fortunate enough to receive it). So really your life comes down to today.
What does that mean? Well, do me it is simple: if you want to enjoy life — make sure you do it today! If you are grateful for someone — make sure you tell them today! If you love someone — dont wait, tell them today! If you want to have freedom in your life — go get it today! If you want travel and explore the world, set your sails today!
I sometimes have the feeling we get trapped in our future goals. Making our happiness conditional with hitting certain achievement levels in the future. Preventing us from being really happy and fulfilled today. But life is nothing more than a day. We receive it this way, we should life it this way.
If today is all we have, all we should care about is to make sure we live it fully, today!
Great remind to live in the present.
