Life is a gift woven from threads of exquisite joy and profound pain. Each day becomes a colorful tapestry of our countless thoughts, emotions, and activities.
As we learn to navigate life, we perceive time through three distinct realms: the Past, the Future, and the Present.
Past
The beautiful moments in our past shine like precious stones, reminding us of life’s inherent beauty. Each joyful memory resonates with sincere smiles, laughter, and love, illuminating our journey. The moments that challenge us—those we often perceive as “ugly” or label as the miseries of life—serve a vital purpose. They are the teachers that push us to confront obstacles and help us make choices that lead to our personal growth.
However, the past is merely an act engraved in time that can no longer be changed.
Future
The future often looms before us, a vast unknown that can overwhelm us with fear and anxiety. Yet, every moment “now” was once an unknown future. Every decision we make and every step we take in the present weaves the course of our lives.
While the future is uncertain, it offers endless possibilities. We are the architects of our future, preparing it for ourselves through the choices we make each day.
Present
The present is the only moment we truly own. In this moment, we have the chance to savour the richness of life while drawing from the wisdom of the past and freeing ourselves from fear.
In the vibration of “now,” we can fully embrace life in all its simplicity and beauty. The present is not just a passage of time; it is the heart of existence and our opportunity to enjoy everything that surrounds us.
Time has only one face: now. We can live it or lose it… the choice is ours.
Everyone lives only in the present and loses it too.
