Focus On The Now

We live in a world filled with happiness,love,war & despair.
We come across a million kinds of people - arrogant,asinine,dreamers,believers,realists,etc.

But you know what kind of problem we all face?
The present!

Most of us either live in the past,or in the future.
Sounds silly,doesn't it? 
But believe me,most of us live our lives by this very statement,which should be counted as a fact!

Do not dwell in the past,
 do not dream of the future,
 concentrate the mind on the present moment.
-buddha

So most of us can't let go off the past,and most of us can't wait to reach our future.
Ask yourself,why?
Why does your present not impress you so much that you either prefer to appreciate it when it becomes the "past" and you look at it from your "future".
I hear a lot of people saying "live in the moment",but fail to do so.
Sad. Go out,and do what makes you smile.
Don't wait for tomorrow!
Think of it this way,If you get icecream,and you don't have a freezer,it'll melt if you don't eat it.
Do you expect it to wait till tomorrow without melting? NO.

See,we all have a common problem which is "we think we have time,but we actually don't."
You never know what tomorrow will bring you. Death may knock you out unconscious even before you could say "give me another chance."
It isn't only death,bad fortune,ill will,et cetera,can strike any moment.

Biggest example is this:
"when we're kids we dread going to school and being a child. We're in complete awe of adults and the way they live their so called 'carefree' lives. But when we actually reach that stage,we realize that our overprotected,sheltered past was something we truly should have valued more at that time."
You can't go back to the past,and you can't waste today running behind the faint possibility of tomorrow being better.
Live in the now,make the most of it.
Make a strong imprint. 
Smile everyday,and yeah, appreciate the life you have.
Yours may seem bad at the moment,but its always darkest before the dawn.
Peace xx
