My husband and I both know people that have or do practice “living in the moment and for the moment”. They didn’t know, realize, or care that those mishandled bits of time would lead them to making continued future bad choices; thus resulting in pain, addiction, divorce, poverty and even death.
Remember to live IN the moment but not “for the moment“; and remember that every minute is a prelude to the next - don’t waste them but spend them wisely creating a life and future you can rejoice in! These folks that we know (that have had some very self made difficult times), didn’t realize that those moments were shaping their future moments. Sometimes by doing want you want when you want, especially when its bad for you or not productive in some positive way, can result in future moments where you NEVER get to do want you want.
Doing what you want now, sometimes keeps you from doing what you really want to do later! Hope this note finds you happy and healthy and living each moment with your mind and heart present in everything you do - striving for the best happy you that you can be! Hugs & Love friends!!!!
So true! We live in an instant gratification society and I often find it hard to teach my children to plan for the future. I mean if you really want that CARS2 airplane, you gotta save those pennies!
ReplyDeleteI just read this note.....you're so right. We do live in that type of society......it's up to us to raise the next generation and to make sure that they value people, use things and not vice versa...and earn their money by honest, hard work. Do they have enough pennies yet for the Cars2 airplane? or have they moved on? LOL xoxo
