Why is the future so emphasized?
Everything we have done since we were children had lead up to this moment in our future.
We went to preschool to go to kindergarten, kindergarten to go to grade school, grade school to go to middle school and it’s as if everything we have done or will do in life is to contribute to our future. We go to high school for our future education, we go to college for our future career, we go to work for our future retirement. All that we do leads up to the future, a future that we may one day never have. Who is to say that we are guaranteed our future?
What we are guaranteed is right now.
Why isn’t this moment that we are living in right now ever emphasized?
You woke up this morning probably going about your usual routine but what you might not have realized is: that you woke up this morning. Today you were given the most precious gift: life. You were given the chance to make a difference today, the chance to make someone smile, the chance to make someone laugh.
Today you were gifted life.
Live with no regrets of yesterday. Yesterday is the past, there is nothing you can do or say to change it. What you can change is the present, you can change the way you are thinking, the way you are acting, the way you will effect the lives of others around you.
Will you receive the gift of life tomorrow? It’s not guaranteed. All that is guaranteed, is right now. We must live in each moment and live each moment to its fullest potential, love the deepest without letting anything hold you back, laugh the hardest, and live each day as if it were your last.
Make every moment count.
