Life is full of moments. From the moment you took your first
breath, made your first cry, spoke your first word, etc… you get the point.
Life is full of moments of firsts, but it’s full of more than just firsts. Life
is full of moments of seconds, thirds, fourths, fifths etc. It is full of moments
of different emotions and different people. Although moments make up a
lifetime, sometimes we don’t even realize we had a moment until we reflect on
it later.
I’m learning
how to enjoy moments. I try not to expect a moment to repeat or hope for more
time in that moment. I just try to enjoy the moment I am in. Example, I met this
really cool person and we hung out. I had an amazing time. I was happy and smiling
and laughing and joking. I don’t expect a second moment with that person. I’m
not saying we won’t hang out again, but if we don’t, it’s ok. I enjoyed the
moment with that person fully. I am content. I truly lived in the moment. They
owe me nothing. No one can promise tomorrow.
This blog
post has nothing to do with living irresponsibly and not planning for the
future at all and being reckless with your life. No, this blog post is about
taking the time to fully appreciate every breath you take. Being grateful for
every person who passes through your life or even stays awhile. I’m even
talking about the people who have hurt you.
Life is
full of moments, even now and then a bad one. The beauty of living in the moment
is that moments come and go. Acknowledging a moment can maybe even help you get
out of one. If you’re feeling sad and miserable, like I do often, you can tell
yourself that it is just a moment. This too shall pass. Just like rivers flow,
so does life air and flow.
Life is worth
living. I tend to forget that. I forget that every moment counts, even the lazy
Netflix days. I’m hoping to become a little more motivated to realize my
studying moments count too.
There are
so many moments we tend to appreciate less because we are ungrateful for the
moment we had. If my friend never wants to hang out with me again, I could be
upset about it or be thankful that we did hang out at least that once. The
choice is mine. You might reach a goal and instead of being impressed with
yourself and appreciate the moment of accomplishment, you’re too busy worrying
about the next goal. You missed a moment. So think about it next time something
amazing happens. Enjoy the moment. Don’t worry about what’s next. Don’t worry
about if you’ll ever see that person again. Just live in the moment.
Life is
full of moments. You’ll have more, maybe. You’re not promised tomorrow. Don’t
miss out on the moments you’re having.
Hope you enjoyed this moment reading my blog! ^_^
