Living in the present

In the middle of a mood-swing - considering not showing up, but staying in and curling in, I had a moment of revelation, realising there was nothing to gain and everything to miss out on by staying in.

I thought to myself: This is it. This is my life! If I miss this chance of being present, of living fully, it is a chance that will not come back. It was not a special ocassion, but it was an ocassion that was not returning. It was a day that was either there for me to seize or one to miss! So I said out loud many times: This is my life. Today is it.

This piece confirms the importance of living in the present, the impact it has on happiness. It says: Live in the moment or be unhappy.

I was thrilled with my decision to be present and while looking out of the bus window, I knew that even though it was not an important time for a special reason, no special reason is needed to realise that moment was mine to enjoy because it was not coming back.
Every time, every day is your day to live and enjoy and make the most of. Today is not coming back. Today is yours to take!
