Live in the here and now

When you are young you think you are going to live forever, but as you descend into old age, and you get into the "Waiting for God "mode, you face your mortality and become frightened by it……

or not. I suppose it depends if you have religious beliefs.

For myself, I have come to realise that life only consists of the second we stand in. As mortals, we make up this concept of time future, we can’t change time past and don’t appreciate time present. Big mistake. As all living creatures on the earth do, we live in the same moment and you are who you are at that moment.  So the message is……
that old classic “seize the moment” and it says it all.  One moment, one second, one minute, one hour or one day, take it and enjoy. It might be all you are ever going to get!!!!

Don’t waste your time on recriminations and bad memories. Be happy.
