Forever is Composed of Nows.

We Cannot Change Past or Guarantee a Future, All we can do is build ourselves in the Present Moment.

Time and Time, we have come across this wisdom.

Time is of the essence in our lives and we waste it in the anticipation of a good one to come. We ruin the present moment by regretting the past or anticipating the future of our life. Doing that will not change the past or revamp our future. It can only do one thing: waste the precious ‘NOW’.

Many notable personalities identified this common human tendency and tried to improve on that. They utilized their Now with all of their might. They build themselves and utilizes every moment of present and time rewarded their patience and perseverance with a better future.

Leo Tolstoy highlights this wisdom in a more digestible way:

“Remember then: there is only one time that is important — Now! It is the most important time because it is the only time when we have any power.”

That is why ‘Living in Now’ becomes important. Living now becomes an important aspect of a fruitful life. Otherwise, all we can do is rue and anticipate a perfect dull life.
