Your Heart Is Beating Now
Thinking about the future can make us forget that there is a present, a now. It is up to you to make that famous John Lennon quote that says that life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans or, on the contrary, start living in the present moment.
Making plans is fine, having objectives and goals is necessary, having a plan for the future is essential to grow and advance. But you can’t forget that your heart beats now too. You cannot neglect today, the present moment.
Don’t think so much about tomorrow: You are only guaranteed today
The present moment is where the future is forged. The decisions you make now, the experiences you live today will be some day past when the future becomes the present. But who knows what will happen tomorrow.
Love today, live today, be grateful today, take care of yourself today. Maybe then it’s too late. Maybe tomorrow will never come. Do not let dreams drag you while you forget to live.
Caress your loved ones
Your loved ones are always there. Precisely for this reason, many times we forget how important and necessary they are for us and that one day we could lose them, in any of the meanings of the term. Do not forget that they love you and can also lose you.
Do not forget to caress your loved ones, to tell them that you love them, to dedicate some of your time to them consciously, to kiss them, to remind them how much they mean to you, to give them a sincere smile. Don’t wait for it to be late. Speak, listen, touch, observe.
Stop taking everything so seriously
Every day there are problems to manage and challenges to face. But not all are equally important. However, out of inertia, we allow ourselves to be absorbed by all of them in an effort to have a perfect life, a completely controlled life.
What do you get out of this? What you get is wasting a lot of time. If you value everything using the same scale, you will stop paying enough attention to what is truly important. Simplifying and stopping taking some things seriously, you can dedicate yourself to what is truly important, those that are really worth it.
Give priority to your health
Health is a gift that is not valued in its fair measure until it is lost. But only with health can you enjoy the time you have left. Everything you do today will influence your future health. If you despise your body and mind today, tomorrow they will take their toll on you.
Live today thinking about your physical and mental health, act respecting your body and your spirit. Be aware of the value that this has for you and for those who love you. Taking care of yourself you feed your self-esteem and you feel grateful and alive.
Be grateful for what you have today
The harsh reality is that life is too short. The good news is that it is enough if you do it right. And to do it well you have to live in the present, feeling grateful for what you have now, enjoy it now, without wasting it, respecting it.
What you have is enough to be happy, your “current me” is enough if you are able to find the true value that you have now. You can still become more, there is no doubt. But you won’t be able to get anywhere if you don’t know where you are.
