Contemplation of the present

Recently i was reading an article by a famous author
He intrestingly says that the contemplation of the present is most important
All our lives we just plan for future or repent for past
We should now gaze upon our present and plan it in such a way that
we live every day as the last day of our life
We meet people as we are meeting them for the last time
We talk to our loved one as we are doing it for the last time
Then only we can relish our present...
He also says that both pessimist and optimist die at the end
The only difference is the way they live their lives
This is a very heart touching quote...i have come across recently
And it forces me to think how much am i living my present and amazingly the answer
came that i am not..
Nowdays we are just running after status,money,materialistic things
and not after relationships,values,traditions which are more important...
(No offence just a point of view)
The future is unceratin and past has gone but present has to be taken care of
My piece of advice "LIVE LIFE DON'T PASS THROUGH IT":)

  1. But in order to make our 'future's present' beautiful in the future, we have to sacrifice little bit of your present...only little bit. It is like if we spend our whole salary on the 1st day to make your 1st day look good, we would be slogging for the next 29 days. Balance has to be maintained keeping in mind the respective priorities in life. Infact,if we tilt the balance somewhat to 'LIVE THE LIFE OF PRESENT', we won't repent in the future atleast. :-)

  2. The future's present will never come.. coz when it will come we will again think about the next one..the prsent has to be spent wisely unlike blowing off the salary on the first day...priorities can be handled daily as well...living the present is just fulfilling the desires of that particular day...i am telling u try it it is fun..
