Time doesn't go, time stays We go!

This is a short post on living, and I really intend keeping it simple as well as brief.

In my earliest days on Steemit, i posted one of my original poems about " Time," and I'll give a short excerpt from that poem and as well a link to the full post.

So don't try to stretch me thin.
nor try to stop me full.
but do all you must,
Love all you would;
Share all you could,
Win it all, IN TIME

The poem talks about loving and living the present. Learning to have breaks for a while, and taking the time to appreciate all the good things in front of you. And I think this is a good lesson on humanity and responsible living.

Why so serious? What's the rush for?

So much people on earth today live life like it's a sprint. We become so focused on the future and what would become that we fall out of synchronicity with the present..

So focused on the finish line, you stepped right on a landmine

Live in the present

To live fully live in the present is to center your awareness completely on the here and now. You are not overly worrying about the future or thinking about the past.

When you live in the present, you are living where life is happening. you're attune to time. Time as we know it, is always now. by living in the present, you give yourself the power to imagine, to think, to create!

However, this post doesn't try to undermine the role of responsibility and our various daily necessities. Wisdom must be applied. For there really are two extremes to this. And like most things in life, one must find a balance.

On one end, one may spend too much time on the present, so much that they forgot to save for winter and draught. or they fail to plan.

On the other end, it's Killjoy. Being overly strict and serious about everything makes one unavailable to life itself. So stressed out on how to impress your boss on Monday morning, so much that you ruin great moments with the family.

For such people, their existence becomes predicated on what they hope to achieve in a few days, and then in a few months, and then in the next 15 years. It's a vicious cycle. Such people miss out on the things that make life well, Life. leading to later regrets and possibly loneliness.

Here's a final piece of my mind;

Tomorrow is always a day away. Time is today, now. Live it.

Be here, Now.

Exactly dear. We should quit losing time to probability. There's so much detail in the present we could enjoy and learn from.
