Seriously where has the time gone? It seems like yesterday that we were in preschool intensely waiting for recess and then an afternoon nap. Oh, those were the best of times. Now I am sitting here 15 years later and I have never been more confused. My stress level is at an all time high and I used to think, “I can not wait to grow up!” Now that I am growing up and advancing further and further into adulthood, all I want is that innocent youth back.
Time happens so fast that we don’t even realize that it is passing by. All I wish for is that time would slow down a little so I can get my life together. When I was younger, I would wish that I were older so that I could hang out with the older kids. However, I also would think that those days would never come because at that time, the year 2016 seemed like it was unreachable. I’m sure I will be saying the same thing in another 15 years. But there is one thing that I have learned over the years and that is to not wish them away. Live in the moment and enjoy every single day to the best of your ability. If you spend too much time dwelling on the past or stressing about your future, you will lose the beauty that is held in the present.
Living in the moment is so important especially since time goes by in the blink of an eye. I know it is hard at times, especially when the time gets tough. All you want to do is make time move faster to get over whatever struggle that is eating at you. Just push through those times because those are the things that are going to make you stronger in the future. I will always wonder what my future will hold for me. However, I can have a pretty good idea of what the future will hold if I work hard now to achieve what I want.
Understand that we cannot do anything about how time is moving. All we can do is embrace it and spend our days as if they are our last. Relish the time that you are in today and don’t worry about the past or future, especially the future. The past is the past and that is never changing. However, the future is unknown so we must work hard now to make sure that we create a beautiful future for ourselves. I know it sounds like mumbo jumbo, but it is just the honest truth.
