We Are One

We are one. You know people better when you open your mind. You can’t know people from a distance. If you want to know people, or you want people to know you, it is your responsibility to reach out to them. Don’t live in isolation. People want to meet you. But they cannot do it without your own consent. Open your mind to receive love, happiness, peace, joy, and care from other people. Why is that? Because we are one.

We are social animals. Human beings are not created to live alone. We are created to live together, to work together, to love together, to cry together, to mourn together, to study together, to party together, to travel together, to vote together. As philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin once said, “We are one, after all, you and I. Together we suffer, together exist, and forever will recreate each other.” Yes, will recreate each other. We are better when we do things together. We are better when we reach out to our friends. We are better when we love our enemies. We are better when we work together. For some people, it is not easy to connect. If that is the case, start with your family member. Go out and have fun with them. Don’t stay behind when they are doing things together. Pierre Tailhard de Chardin said, “The world is round so that friendship may encircle it.” Remember, “You get what you sow.” No more, no less.

If You Want To Enjoy Where You Are Right Now, Focus On Where You Are

If you want to enjoy where you are right now, you must focus on where you are. Why? Because if you are not present, no one will recognize you. And if you are not there, you will miss everything that is happening around you. It is easier for you to waste your precious time living in the past than to focus on the moment.

To enjoy your life with yourself, with your friends, stop living in the past. It is your time to start enjoying your life. Why not live in the now? Why not live in the moment? Why not focus on what is in front of you? Why not celebrate yourself? Why not ignore naysayers? Why not?

Philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin said, “The future is more beautiful than all the pasts.” Your future depends on what you are doing now. If you want to live a better future, you must focus on what is in front of you. Because what you are doing now is creating your future. If you do it well, you will have a better future. But if you keep living in the past, the opposite will happen. Don’t let that be your own portion!
