Truth For Every Day

Some people fear dying. But I think the majority of people fear truly living in the present moment. There's so much pressure in our society to be the best, get rich, earn recognition and even fame that we can easily lose sight of what's really important. We either plan so far into the future or we become enslaved in our past. Sure the past can teach us some valuable life lessons, and the future can motivate us to dream big, be innovative, and stay creative but isn't the present such a beautiful and unique place to live? (given we actually realize and appreciate our surroundings) I'll learn from my mistakes and just keep trying to be the best that I can be, knowing that today is the miracle and today is breathtakingly beautiful, just like all of us.
