Savor ‘Now’

Lately, you hear the phrase ‘time flies’ more often. In the past five or more years of my life, I recall people saying, they don’t even know how the year ended. These statements are common around the new year, in particular. Well, I don’t know if the people in the ancient times used to say that too. But depending on what the elders say, time wasn’t this fast.

The thing is, despite how fast the time goes, life is eventful. In the twelve months of a single year, whether you felt it like it was a fraction of second or not, change comes along with you. Series of events and opportunities gang upon you.

So, it ends up being your responsibility to act upon it or slip it away from your hands. That’s when passion becomes a key for making a decision in your future. Nowadays, obituaries are written when someone dies. But the Greeks used to ask this one question only; did he/she have passion? I think they understood the worth of life more than us. That makes you stop wondering how the time is going ahead of you and start feeling the right now moment. Cherish it by a bit. The days could go faster than you think. But cease the moment in the simplest thing you do in your normal days. Live in the present. Savor ‘now’! Acknowledge the people you have in your life. See and feel things deeply! And appreciate the special treats of life when it comes along. Because by the next hour, you have already lost this one. Just like you did the previous days, weeks and years!

au revoir!
