Live Now
''Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it.''
Soren Kierkegaard
We all know at least one person that, when given something really beautiful as a gift, will open a closet and store it away for ''a special day'' or ''for when company comes over.'' When you gave that gift to them, you envisioned them using and enjoying it, but they feel it is for ''someday,'' not for today.
Many people live the largest portion of their lives in ''someday'' mode. Everything good is going to happen ''someday.'' All their dreams are going to come true ''someday.'' Things are going to calm down or get better ''someday.''
Sometimes we live in someday mode because we are so busy today that there seems to be no time to enjoy anything. Why are we in such a hurry? What are we hurrying to? More work? More stress? More rushing through holidays we are supposed to be enjoying?
Sometimes we live in someday mode because all our happiest times seem to be behind us. And that's where the happiest times will always be if we aren't doing anything to create a happy life now. Some people feel there is some person or obstacle that makes it impossible for them to enjoy today as much as yesterday.
Sometimes we are just making excuses because we are afraid to take a chance on our dreams and really live now. Or we feel living our life the way we would enjoy it would upset someone else close to us.
