The Now

You know how you look back on things and you smile and laugh about those memories. You think to yourself, "Wow! Things were so much better back then." But if you truly, actually think about it and compare it to now, it wasn't much better back then.  Life hasn't gotten any worse.  It's just you choose to look back on things from the past with a certain happiness, I guess.  But when that thing that you look back on and think to yourself that it was the greatest was actually happening, you probably weren't thinking that it was so fantastic at the time.  That is why we must appriciate a good thing when and as it is happening.  You can't go back and relive those great moments...You just have to been happy with them as they are happening.

That's why I am telling you people:

Enjoy today for it is. You've got to realize a good thing when you see it around you, as it is around you.  Not the next day.  Not after a few weeks.

Appriciate The Now.
