Hi @jaynie, I'm really glad that @denmarkguy resteemed your post as we seem to like similar topic.
I always get annoyed when people say something like "focus on work/study, fun/friends will always be there". No it/they won't! We have a limited time on Earth, and although it is important to work/study in order to support our life and make some self-actualization, it is not the point of life, the point of life is to enjoy our time.
As I recently wrote, we must relax, stop struggling, stop trying so hard, stop manipulating people to try to get what we want. Once we have become accustomed to stop doing so much (letting go) and just being for a while (live the moment), we can live a much happier life.
I've followed you, cheers! : )
Very well said @lifenbeauty... letting go and living in the moment are two very important facets to life.
