Why Not Being Obsessed With The Present Moment Will Help You Appreciate Life @ 12:14:00 AM
"We can’t go on doing our best to overload our senses indefinitely —
we will either slow down and learn to appreciate the things that matter,
the things that we already have and have accomplished, or we will be
miserable for all eternity. Focusing your thoughts on nothing other than
future endeavors and future experiences, goals and dreams, will lead to
you working towards a new goal until the day you die. And then on your
deathbed, you will look back and regret not taking the time to enjoy any
of it.
You can’t take your life experiences, memories or material
possessions with you to your grave. Once you’re dead, you’re dead.
That’s it. Lights out. Curtain drops. It’s actually quite frightening if
you think about it. It’s possible — and there surely have been people
in such a situation — to live an entire lifetime without appreciating
anything along the way; it’s possible never to take the time to
appreciate your significant other, to appreciate the things that you
have accomplished, to appreciate your friends and family, to appreciate
all the good times that you had.
To smell the roses, sort of speak. What makes good times good times
is going back and revisiting those memories. Thinking about the
experiences that you have had, the people you know and love, even the
things you own, in a positive light. Generation-Y’s whole fascination
with YOLO and living in the moment has a huge flaw: human beings aren’t
meant to live solely in the moment. Nor solely focused on the future.
What makes our lives worthwhile is looking back and appreciating our
past.

Appreciate all that we've went through and learn to smile at them.
There may be regrets that we are no longer able to change, learn to simply accept them unless there's something else you can do to change them.
We can't change a thing in the past, but we can always learn from them ad move on.
Keep the precious parts close to your heart, because without them, you'll never be part of the current you.
Never be angry with a person over an object.
I am still learning hard.
Yes, I know my post doesn't even make sense at this time so nights! (:
