My grandmother used to say a phrase which can be translated as "Every second of well-being...". There was a poet who said something which can be translated as "Luggage for a 100 years and we don't even know about tomorrow?"
Isn't that how we are? Planning our livelihoods and planning for the future. Studying and saving money, investing, planning for children's college studies, marriage etc etc. So many plans but do we really know about tomorrow? No one can say for sure about whats going to happen tomorrow or to be even more critical, not even about the next second.
Then why don't we just live for the minute. I somehow have never been the live-for-the-minute sort. I have always lived for the tomorrow. Planning for tomorrow for family...and responsibilities etc. But I write this post after a near death experience....I was moved...and instantly have been thinking over it....
Its not as easy as it sounds...switching modes to just living for today....but I think we all need a balance somewhere....in the middle of responsibilities we tend to tilt towards....the too much planning mode...and forget about enjoying the small pleasures of today...
Mental Note: We don't know about tomorrow? Don't care too much about it...care about it, yes, but dont let it bother your today...
