"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives." — Annie Dillard
Life is change — period! Nothing lasts forever, whether good, bad, or indifferent. Although time just keeps marching along, this is not bad news. Knowing the inevitability of change is a powerful motivator to stay focused on your goals and priorities. Until you let go of the guilt, regrets, or shame of yesterday and stop worrying or dreaming about tomorrow, you will never fully enjoy this moment. Living in the now prevents distracting and ineffective activities, and helps use time more efficiently. Live today — this moment — as if it were your last!
"Time is life. It is irreversible and irreplaceable. To waste your time is to waste your life, but to master your time is to master your life and make the most of it." — Alan Lakein
Acknowledging the unpredictability of your existence helps see and appreciate all the beauty in the world. Your awareness of now should be non-judgmental, purposeful, and objective enough to prevent over-reacting to events. Increasing your mindfulness allows an ever-changing idea of who you think you are and how you feel about yourself. In addition, this awareness opens your view of others and the world, and changes how you perceive your relationships.
"Until you value yourself, you will not value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it." — M. Scott Peck
