“Seize the moments of happiness, love and be loved! That is the only reality in the world, all else is folly. It is the one thing we are interested in here.”- Leo Tolstoy

There is no ordinary time. There is no ordinary day. And there is no ordinary life.

If you know what you want, every moment is a special moment. If you are doing the right thing, every moment is a special moment.

If you are living rightly, every where you go is a special place. Do not take anything for granted. Because you are here to enjoy your life, to live your life, to make things happen.

Leo Tolstoy said, “Love is life.” When you are in love with yourself, nothing can stop you from getting to where you want to be. Because love is happiness. Love is strength. Love is energy. Love is peace.

When you are in love with yourself, you are in love with your life.

Richard Bach said, “The things we own, the places we live, the events of our lives: empty settings, and forget diamonds! The only thing that matters, at the end of a stay on earth, is how well did we love, what was the quality of our love?”

Love matters. If you don’t love yourself, you can’t touch other people. To touch other people, “love and be loved!”

Wherever You Are, Be There

Wherever you are, be there. You are where you are for a reason. Don’t ignore it, explore it. We don’t see what is around us because we are too busy to see it, to enjoy it. You are too busy to enjoy your wife. You are too busy to enjoy your life. You are too busy to read more books. You are too busy to take care of your body. You are too busy to go to your best friend’s birthday.

When are you going to slow it down?

It is time to slow down. It is time to evaluate your life. Why? Because if you don’t check what you are doing to yourself, to your life, to the people around you, you will continue with your busy life. Before you do anything, before you take on a new assignment, ask yourself, “Is it necessary?” Do not just do something to look good. Do something because it is necessary, but not urgent. Stop living your life on the road. Slow it down.

Slow your busyness down. If you want to live a better life, you must give yourself a full attention. When you are with yourself, be there. When you are with your wife, be there. When you are playing with your children, be there. When you are eating, just eat. When you are working, be there. Because every moment is important. Every moment is special. Enjoy it.

Spend quality time with yourself. Spend quality time with your soul. Do not take on more than you can do. Do not take on what you cannot do. Do not promise people what you don’t have. It is better. Take time to rest, to think, to read, to just connect with nature. Remember, you are not going to be here forever, so enjoy every moment of your life. Start now.
