When was the last time you truly enjoyed your life?

I’m not talking about how much joy you get from watching daytime television... No, when was the last time you TRULY enjoyed your life, when you embraced life for what it has to offer? Most people spend their adulthood never truly living in the moment. Their minds are almost always occupied with plans to do for the weekend, the week after that, or drifting off just thinking for the sake of thinking. Adults are weird like that. When everything goes smoothly and as planned, their minds are always going to find a way to make it all seem temporary; as if the present moment doesn’t matter, as if there’s always going to be something else to look forward to.

I am not productive enough. I am not wealthy enough. I am not healthy enough. I haven’t read enough books to be knowledgeable and appear smart enough to hold up a conversation with a person worth my time. I need to change. I desperately need that new iPhone. I need to learn a new language because I’ve been told that I should actively try everything new and I don’t want to be stuck doing the same things over and over again.
We’re always in the need. For things (rather, expectations of them) that possibly may never become reality.
Children are stereotyped as creatures having not the ability to concentrate on any kind of task. In reality, it’s the adults that should be depicted as so. Most of us don’t know why we’re this way. We know that we should make a change; we know that the present moment is the only moment that matters and truly exists; but once we have stroked our egos showing how knowledgeable we are about our psychs’ problems, we keep on doing just the opposite of what we know we shouldn’t do. Because it just seems IMPOSSIBLE for us to stop thinking.
It really does seem so.
Surely, you could recall to the times of your childhood. Days felt like months and months felt like years. There wasn’t anything that bothered you. You got hurt, you cried, and that was it. No lingering thoughts that creep up at night. Zero anxiety. Only scary monsters would bother you. You could do anything, be anyone and there was nothing that bothered you. Going to the park felt like an exciting journey. You were living in the present.
Kết quả hình ảnh cho ego

Time went on. You hit puberty. You started building your ego and slowly, you started worrying about the future. You began to think about what to do with your life after college. You started having regretful thoughts about what you did and thoughts about what you should have done instead.
Suddenly, you started getting lost in thought. The images in your head were slowly diminished. You started losing the ability to think in pictures and instead, there were just words. This voice in your head that kept shit-talking you whenever you fucked up.
The present is called the present for a reason - It’s a gift. Only if you’ve got enough willpower to open it.
