So many times I’ve been asking myself what live is about. Whether I should take a look in the future or think about the past. But a few weeks ago a good friend told me to live life in the present. To live in the moment and to not care too much about what happened in the past and what is going to happen soon. Of course life is also about having aims you’d like to fulfill and dreaming a lot. But instead of looking for a solution in the past or being too stuck by always thinking about the future we should realize how important the present moment can be. Right now you have the chance to build up a future,but also to enjoy live. Even though I never really liked the „YOLO“ (You Only Live Once) thing, it might include some intelligent aspects. Try to find the pleasure in life. Even if you might be just grateful for tiny things like a smile of your friend, try to live your life right now. Don’t get too lost in your dreams about a you that you’ll  never be. Of course you may dream and you may plan for future but don’t forget about the impact of the present on your future. If you always wanted to go on a road trip through Australia, then go for it. Save your money and work for it by still enjoying the moment you’re doing it. I sometimes have the impression that too many people get lost in their pasts or in their dream lives. Past is important because it shaped the one who we are. Future is important because it allows us to dream. But the present moment is every breath that we take and the moment we are living in. Enjoy the one who you are and don’t forget about the one second that is passing right now, the you that is reading this blog post and the simple pleasures of life.
