So here it is. The end of a vacation. How is it that it somehow takes forever to come, but as soon as it is here it flies by before we even realize it? Is that what is feels like to be fully immersed in something and enjoy every moment? It is strange that we so often take for granted small moments of our day to day lives. Why aren't we able to enjoy the entirety of our lives?
As previously mentioned in a different blog, I think it stems from constantly looking toward the future. I recently saw a Facebook post that read: "Tomorrow (noun): a mystical land where 99% of human productivity, motivation and achievement are stored." I think this is quite true. Too often we say that we will do something tomorrow or tomorrow is a new day. This leaves us with the idea that today doesn't really matter because tomorrow is where it will all happen.
It saddens me to realize that for the last several years of my life, I have been looking forward to tomorrow without living appropriately and fully through today. I don't like that I wait to do things that I want to do because I am too tired or I have responsibilities to handle. Time is of the essence and it's time to ensure that I don't regret not living today!
