Living In The Moment

If this life is one act
Why do we lay all these traps?
We put them right in our path
When we just wanna be free

I will not waste my days
Making up all kinds of ways
To worry about all the things
That will not happen to me

So I just let go of what I know I don't know
And I know I'll only do this by
Living in the moment
Living our life
Easy and breezy
With peace in my mind
With peace in my heart
Peace in my soul
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home
Living in the moment

We wake up every day, with new wishes & hopes for tomorrow. Instead of living in our present, we human have a tendency to worry about our future. This only ends up taking away, what we have today. Do we even know what future have in store for us? No one have an idea about what will happen tomorrow. Lets for a moment not talk about the time to come, but we are even clueless about what will happen the very next moment. Life is a mystery; why not leave it just the way it is? And wait for it to unfold its secrets.

 It’s not just about future, but some of us are still stuck in our past. Our past may have been glorious or may have been filled with failures. Some of us are still living in those moments of life. It’s time to let it go & welcome what is waiting for us. 

The only reason we are so future centric is because of the society we live in. We are always thought to think about the coming days & plan them. In the race of life, to have more & more, we tend forget many memorable moments of our life. In this Hippocratic world nothing comes with a guarantee. How can tomorrow have an assurance, that it will be wonderful & exactly the way we want it to be?  Life is a process. No matter how we plan it, it will go with its own flow. There will be ups & downs. Live your life day by day. Nothing is forever in this crazy world.

Today is your only day. Yesterday has passed and tomorrow is never assured. We are not going to be here forever. You never know when you’re going to leave this Earth. Take time to enjoy this day with no regrets. Live in the moment & make it so beautiful, that it is worth remembering.

How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. The light is always shinning outside our windows, trying to peep in to lighten our world. But we ignore it. We can never enjoy that light, unless we open that window, & let the light enter into our life. 

“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house.” (Matthew 5:14, 15 NLT)

Living in the moment is a choice. You can choose to experience it later, in which case you will develop a mindset of being happy later which will carry on into your retirement life. This leads to neediness for the rest of your life. Or you can live in this moment now, and not worry about being needy.

If we look around, things are pretty amazing. So stop for a second, enjoy the beauty, feel the magic, drink it in because it won't last forever. All the happiness, romance will fade. Things will happen, no matter how much ever we try to stop it. People will change, sad moments will make its way into our life. Relations will fall apart, love will die. But, maybe not today.
