Before the "Next Time"
Time passes us so fast that we barely notice what it lends to us for that short while. Time brings along moments. Moments bring feelings. Time allows us to appreciate it. Sadly, we’ve got a little of it to realize every moment of our lives. That’s why we’re stuck in place. We get very little from our experiences so we don’t want to move on yet. We haven’t felt the fulfillment.
Why there are many immature adults.Why the rich are still greedy. Why the pretty are still insecure. Why the smart still feels dumb.
Why we are unhappy. And why we feel empty.
"People haven't found the meaning of their lives, so they're running all the time looking for it. They think the next car, the next house, the next job. They find those things empty too, and they keep running."
–Morrie Schwartz
Let’s live one day at a time. Let’s appreciate every moment of our lives-- every time someone greets us in the morning, every time a friend smiles at us, each meal time that we have food on our plates, every time we are safe and unharmed, every time our heart still beats for dear life. Everything happens for the good: failures, disappointments, frustrations, tears, sorrow. Even those, we have to appreciate and grasp what it means to our lives.
“If you can concentrate always on the present, you'll be a happy man. You'll see that there is life in the desert, that there are stars in the heavens...Life will be a party for you ,a grand festival, because life is the moment we're living right now."
-The Alchemist
Time comes and leaves us as quickly as the blink of our eyes. Let’s value every moment it’s still on our hands, so that when it leaves us behind, we are happy to move forward with it. That way, we won’t feel bitter and say “Life sucks!” like the emo kids in town. We won’t feel like our lives are just good-for-nothing.
Time leaves us behind. The moments and the feelings leave with it too. But the lessons we have learned from it will forever be ours... then here comes the “next time”...

I can sum up everything I've learned about life....
