Since I wrote my last post, I have had the opportunity to think about the importance of life and I have discovered that to enjoy our lives fully, we should not only look at the bright side of our existence. Another important element must not be forgotten: our daily life.
Indeed, we have all dreamt of going back into the past. When we were children, we had nothing to do except playing, no financial problems: it was paradise. Even myself needed to move to Brazil to realize how lucky I was to have lived in English speaking countries for the past six years. Others living a difficult experience in the present may also dream of future events or even of another life. But with all this, we often forget the most important: the present.
We should not only look at the bright side of each event of our lives but also focus on the present, on what we are living actually. Indeed, if you spend your time remembering the past, you’ll arrive at a point where you don’t remember what you lived before as you where thinking about the past… In addition, if you only imagine an ideal future, you’ll always be disappointed by the present and will not enjoy life!
So, enjoy the present moment, carpe diem! See how wonderful life is in every tiny detail, you only have one so explore entirely. I’m not saying, however, that we should never look back at the past. Indeed, it may help us appreciate even more what we are living at present, as well as, planning the future helps us prepare for the possible new experiences we might have.
The most important is to try to enjoy life as much as possible. Even if I know it isn’t easy, give it a try!
