We only live for now, the rest is just presumptions.

The moment of truth

With the advancement in technology, our life is moving very fast. The human race is capable of predicting the future, treating & preventing diseases, looking for life & the next colonizable place in another planet. With all these advancements we have started predicting the future. We plan things based on these predictions. But the fact is we can’t control what happens in the next moment.

All we know and control is what happens “Now”, rest all are presumptions, predictions, expectations, and beliefs.

We tend to do predict and expect based on what we learned from the past. With this learning, we are planning and dreaming for a better tomorrow. This also means that we live with a burden of presumption which we acquired based on our past.

“Doesn’t matter what happened in the past or what you have planned for the future. All you have is this moment. Don’t let it slip away.

So engage in, feel what you are doing, and enjoy the process. Keep in mind life is not a racing track with a finite destination instead it’s just a journey and it’s nothing but a sum of “Now’s.”

The journey will end one day. After your death, if the world is looking at the path you have taken then that means you are successful. Else it doesn’t mean you are a failure instead it means you are just another human being who lived with close ones and died in this world. Your path will be looked upon by those close ones.

All we can do is learn from the past and prepare for the future by doing the right things now.

As Albert Einstien once said, “ Life is a preparation for the future, and the best preparation for the future is to live as if there were none.”

Enjoy and indulge in the surroundings and do the right things now. Because all you can do is “do the right now”.
