I hate to be the pessimist here but living for the moment is not as easy to do as it sounds. I always think about the consequences and possible outcomes.
I'd love to quit my boring mindnumbing job but I can't because I need the money to do the things I want to do in the future. Travel, party, get a place of my own, maybe marriage and kids. I mean I can't do any of these at the moment because I need cash.
I'd love to just go up to any girl I'm attracted to and flirt with them but I can't because I always think of the possible embarassments and psychological disorders that could happen. Rejection from someone you like is never an easy thing.
I do believe I'm luckier than the average joe. I have good friends, decent income, and a lot of free time to do my hobbies. Yet why am I not satisfied? Who knows? Pass the beer! |

It is true. There is just sooo much beauty in this world and most people take that for granted. Enjoy the little things in life...
Anyway, here is more good advice |
One piece of advice is missing in there: wear sunscreen. :toothless |

The letter is beautifully written, but I could have used it say 15 years ago! Trouble is, it would have never sunk in then. These are things that can not be force fed to anyone, people have to make their own transition, whatever sparks the change for them. Kind of ironic that if you've never had your eyes open, you don't realize that they are closed! |
Amen brotha...
I realize this all now but man, if only I'd understood it in high school... worried so much about going to a good school and getting good marks... graduated early, wanted to get a head start and get away from my childhood and all the immaturity, then did the same thing in the first couple of years of university... ah man, what the hell was I thinking, what a waste of my life.
I got in my car last night to get some food to bring home and just sat there looking up at the clear sky for a few minutes, thinking to myself when was the last time I did this... and especially the last time I did it with someone else... probably during the blackout - and the last time before that? I don't even remember. That's what people mean by living for the moment - not splurging on money and hitting on every girl - just SLOWING DOWN, taking some time to think and to wind down and just let go... |

I stopped reading when she said she regrets not living in the present.
If you live in the moment, you have no regrets!
Life is a balance between living for the future and living in the moment. The key is to just not live in the past. |

i think that we are all blessed with the ability to make our own decisions and to live our own lives accordingly. whether we choose to recognize the many opportunities and experiences out there for us is solely up to who we are as individuals and what our goals are for our own lives. there is beauty in everything and everyone around us, you just have to open your eyes to see it.
cheers. |
yes! that's exactly my point of view...
Nobody knows the right way, only you know the right way. Life is just an endless array of philosophical questions, such as: "why am I here?" ect. ect. ect....y'know
I've been asking myself these questions for pretty much my whole life, and there is no answer, only you know the answer...I know, it sounds ed up...but I stand by it. :D |

| Good advice, every last bit of it. Balance is important. People who party all the time won't truly enjoy life because in the end of the day, being broke sucks. People who work all the time won't either because being bored is even worse. It's only those who manage to balance the two that will get the most out of life. Assuming they're proactive and spend their days acting, not reacting, not sleeping, not procrastinating. |

Turning 30 would have been a stressful time for me if I had listened to most of my old friends from home who feel they are ahead of me in the game called life. Married, kids etc...however, I can't say that any of them really enjoy their life as much as I do on a daily basis and I don't feel like I have missed out on anything that I can't get if I wanted it later on down the road...and besides I still have 30 x 2 more years to get those things are more more out of life.
Love what you do and do what you love ...and always do it surrounded by smiling faces and beautiful music. |

Yep, this is the way to live your life. I think I'm doing this at the moment. Work 8 boring hours and enjoy the rest of the day by listening to music, reading, or chilling out with friends. I just wish I enjoy my job so that would make it 24 hours of pure fun. :)
I'd actually like to start going to these trance events cause I know I'll enjoy the music. Missed Ferry Corsten 2 weeks ago :( Problem is none of my buddies are into trance music. |
