Why Every Moment Matters

‘Man is but a passing flame….’- George MacDonald

According to George MacDonald, ‘Man is but a passing flame….’ That is true.

Life is passing. Whether we are living well or not, life is passing. It is not going to wait for you. It is certainly not going to wait for anyone, not even me.

And that is why we should never joke with our lives. That is also why we should live our lives to the fullest.

All we have is now, right now, right where you are, not later, not tomorrow, not next week.

Don’t use this moment to worry about your past mistakes. Don’t go there!

Instead of reliving your past mistakes, your past failures, your past disappointments, why not use it to explore new opportunities?

Why not use it to love yourself even more? Why not use it to connect with other great people in your life?

Why not use it to enjoy a great book, a hot cup of coffee?

Why not use it to do what you have always wanted to do? Why not use it to go to where you have always wanted to go? Why not?

Why not? You deserve it. Give it to yourself. You deserve to be here. Live your life really well. Do not try to fix your life, just live it.

Remember, no one is perfect. You are not alone in your fight. So whatever it is that is bothering you, you can face it.

All you need to do is to believe in yourself. Remember, ‘You are not alone.’

‘Don’t Linger In The Ruins’

‘Everything we go through opens us to a greater sense of being, if we don’t linger in the ruins.’- Mark Nepo

Life is not perfect. And do not expect your own life to be perfect. Whatever you have, enjoy it. Whatever you are doing right now, do it well. Wherever you are right now, be there. Live in the moment. Do not postpone your life. There is no time for that.

Whatever you are going through in your life, it is not the end of the world. It is not the end of your life. It is not the end of your career. Whatever it is, let it go.

Do not hold on to something that is not helping you, that is not improving your life. If something is not helping you, it is hurting you. Is that what you want?

If not, then change it. Do something about it. Challenge yourself. Lead your life with hope. And ‘don’t linger in the ruins.’
