“Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.” - John Lennon It’s a funny old thing, life. It’s happening here and now and more often than not, most people aren’t aware of it. They miss out on life itself, thinking and planning about some other moment, some moment in which they believe life will happen.
Do you do that? Is your life going on right under your nose while you are elsewhere?
Unless you are present and alive to life, to this moment, you will miss out. And no one has an infinite amount of time to get to the task of really, truly living. It’s something you need to get onto very very soon.
If I may be so bold, I would ask:
What do you think it’s going to take for you to wake up to this?
What is it going to take for you to realise that your life is ending one moment at a time, and you are somewhere else, lost in your head?
When are you going to stop wasting a single moment adrift in the past or future or some other location, wishing, dreaming that you were anywhere but here?
When are you going to make the most of each and every moment?
Please do. Please wake up to your own life, take it and go. Live it fully. It requires so little, just your attention applied now. Such a small, simple sacrifice, and you get so much.
If you don’t, who will? If not now, when?
ps. if you don't know how - just ask. It really is a simple thing.
