6 REASONS TO LIVE NOW
TIME IS NOT YOUR FRIEND
I’ve read people write about how the only luxury in life is time. Still, I see in everyday matters how my friends, colleagues and family don’t seem to actually live for this.
You see, let me be clear about it: time is not your friend.
It will never be.
Time has the strict passion of complying with his only job. Which is passing by. Not being kind, or showing sympathy.
When it comes to understanding time, we should know, that time will never play for us; time is not our teammate.
It’s important to acknowledge that we need to seize every single second that we can.
Different to what friends usually do, time will never give you an advice, it will never wait for your decisions, nor shape up to your life.
On the long run time will make you better.
In every day matters, you should make “it” better.
PAST IS DONE
Having memories and looking back to previous experiences is something that we all do. Our lives pass by, and we develop through the ongoing life lessons and mixtures of learnings in our present time.
The thing is, most of us, love to go back to past thoughts. We look to our lived experiences and analyze everything of them.
· Why did that happened?
· Why didn’t that happened?
· I should have done different
But guess what, past is done. We can try to relive every single experience, again and again, but it won’t change. It won’t make us better or show any kind of progress.
Past, has the virtue of teaching us, and that’s what we should appreciate.
So, next time we find ourselves looking past, we should recognize that those things are done, they’re not changing and holding to them, won’t let us grow.
FUTURE IS PRESENT
For me, this is the most powerful quote about self-awareness. Since we’re born, our family, teachers and parents mold us to what they believe it’s going to be our best future.
We’ve been neutralized to yearn future. To procrastinate on having a great job, a great family and a great house.
But the fact is, that instead of making such a hard effort within ourselves to imagine our future. We should lead all of our effort and strength into living our present.
It’s our everyday thoughts and actions, that design and build a way to achieve a desired future.
The process of understanding it, is the process of living for it. In every single day.
The Future will always be as bright as your daily actions in your life.
THERE’S NOT A SECOND CHANCE
Some of us, like me, failed at physics class.
I found it really complicated.
But physics is fun to understand. For example, let’s talk about “Momentum”.
Momentum, could be defined as the force that keeps an object moving or keeps an event developing after it has started, right?
But, that’s like in physics, how about in life?
Momentum, is opportunities in motion.
It’s a floating space that it’s not continuous. It starts and ends. Sometimes with out of this world opportunities.
When we get immerse in momentum we have a time-lapse that can lead to extraordinary beneficial or non-beneficial things.
But taking it to facts, momentum provides us with a chance. A chance, that we'll never know if it will happen again.
A moment that we shouldn’t take for granted
Some things, we only live once.
UNCERTAIN IS EVERYTHING
For some reason, most of us like to feel secure and certain. It provides us with an accountability to believe things are right, are safe, and are correct.
Then, our lives get hit by unexpected events, that force us to see and understand that UNCERTAIN IS EVERYTHING.
Even thou it’s a fearful thing to encourage, life is an impermanent cycle of events that permit us to grow, adapt, and live through change.
There’s not a single thing in life that will be constantly perfect, and that’s what makes life’s journey so worthy.
Embracing that we don’t control nor have the strictly truth about why we’re here, is the only mindset that will let us bloom into life. It’s also the mantra that permits us to get comfortable with the uncomfortable and dive in to the beauty of experience.
I’m sure if you reflect on this thought you’ll realize that those uncertain things you’ve lived, are the ones that make your life special.
RISK IS LIFE
There’s no such thing as failure. Failure it’s a concept that comes to mind when our expectations don’t seem to become real.
We fail at love, in our job, with our family.
We even fail at driving.
But, what’s really important about all of this, is that every single one of those failures, became real with a thought, with a decision, and a risk.
Every time we take decisions we are taking risks.
Risks of choices.
Even thou we’re assaulted with every day publicity and every second judgments, we all have in our own selves the power to decide where do we want to take our life.
So, risking is nothing more than the essence of being alive. It’s the principle of learning, of experiencing, and growing.
When we risk, we launch ourselves to advance and develop our mind, spirit and emotions.
We seize time, momentum and opportunities for our own selves.
We provide ourselves the time and space we need, to understand that life flows under a limited time, and these everyday risks are the ones that make everything possible.
So, next time you need to take a decision, don't you punish yourself for taking risks and going all out for what you want, or what you believe.
Whether you achieve it or not, you will find always a benefit from it.
