And another one

Time is an illusion


Being consciously in the NOW is one of the most important things in life you should learn. There is no other time than the present moment and if you are getting caught up in the past and what happened there, or if you are continuously planning your future and looking for salvation in the future, you miss out on the most precious thing there is - THE NOW.

It's all you have and ever will have. You can't change the past and the future will come as that precious present moment and all you can do is enjoy it, accept it and make peace with it whatever it will be.

Most human beings are so caught up in planning their next weekend, holiday or even the next day that they completely miss out on what is right in front of them - THE NOW. Especially in the city the majority of people walk around unaware of the present moment. They are on their phone, playing games, listening to music, searching the internet… unaware of what is around them. Go and explore! Take in what nature has to offer, all its beauty and variety. Sit silently for a few minutes and just breathe and listen. It is amazing and doesn't cost a cent.

Be alert, don't dwell on mistakes you've made in the past, learn from them instead and move on. Don't seek salvation in the future. It is good to have goals but don't get obsessed about reaching them, thinking you will be so much happier once you are there. Every day, every moment is an adventure, a wonderful journey, if you make everyday life a means to an end you are losing your inner peace and you miss out on the best of all - THE NOW.

Be here. Be present. Be conscious. Be rad.
