take a lesson from my main man jackie chan, who spends time living in the moment by doing everything and anything he wants.

laspe of time
Sorry, it has been a while since my last post. I have no real excuse besides saying I am lazy. What I wanted to discuss today is the idea of being in the moment. I feel that too often when we are excited for something to happen, when the moment actually happens our expectations are either too high to properly enjoy what is going, or on the other hand we get so hyped up about an event that we do not believe said moment is happening. For me, I wish that neither occurs to anyone because both can be devastating, but i believe the later of the two is a much worse case to have happen. When we fall into this type of thinking and delusion of a false reality, we lose the importance of what we were so excited to have happen. Then when the moment is over, we wake up from what we assumed was a dream. What's left is just a void of disappointment. I am not saying that we should not be happy or excited when something new or interesting is going to happen in our lives, but i feel like what happens is that we spent to much time thinking about what is occurring around us and whether or not it is just as we imagined. Even if it is better then what we expected, which is often the case, we spent too much time watching and not enough time simply being there.
