A moment in time

Time is an endless stream of moments. But, the strange thing is each moment in itself is finite, it has a beginning and an end. A human life is finite too, each of us are given a certain amount of moments in our lifetime and I believe that we need to make the most of them.

It is so easy for you or I to just sit and reminisce about the past, instead of thinking about what we can do in the present. The problem with this is that we would get dragged along with the stream of past moments, never able to capitalise on them. Another common mistake made by humans is to think about the future too much. When one looks at the future too much instead of just enjoying the current moment it can induce stress and worry.

So, the most important thing to do is to focus on doing something in the present. Sometimes I wonder if the human ability to think is a curse, as it so easily allows you to get stuck in the past or paralyse yourself with worry for a future moment. That being said, it is also important to improve on your past self and give yourself opportunities for the future. The only way to achieve this is to learn from the past and plan for the future. Therefore, I believe that the key is for us to find the right balance between looking at the past, looking forward to the future and staying in the current moment.

Like I said, a human life is finite. Time will live on after you, just as it did before you, as if you never existed. In a way, your entire life is a singular moment in the history of time. Therefore, I think that you should make the absolute most of it by staying in the moment.
