Living in the moment and appreciating the little things of life give immense joy. Be it a road trip, day dreaming about your writing, brooding over an argument or burying your head in your smart phone, it’s easy to find yourselves in a million places other than the here and now, the magic of the present moment around you.
It is believed that when you are young you have novel experiences and create more vivid memories, but as you age, it becomes less “new” or “first time” experiences. There are no unique memories to stand out. I beg to differ in that belief. You make memories and every memory is new if you wish it to be. It is the way you look at it from your point of view.
Be “in the moment," then time seems to stand still in the magic of the moment, no matter what you are doing; cooking, writing on a paper, or watching a sunset or how old you are, you can definitely experience it like it’s a “first time.” Then the question arises as to how often you are truly present in your life? Sometimes in life, you have to slow down and enjoy life more. You may try for a little while, but then off to the races again, filling your lives with more work and distractions.
Your perspective determines how you see and judge everything in life. And try as you may, you cannot run from the perspective that comes from growing older. You are reminded of what’s really important in life when life is threatened. It all bogs down to remembering what’s your priority in life.
"I believe in little adventures and amazing experiences, that makes me contemplate on life. It teaches me not to pin my hopes for happiness on far-off things but those little things I see around me. It reminds me to live in the moment and embrace the awesome in every day."
