I happened to read the last medium post i had written. Damn. What and all have i been scribbling. 😂. The last sentence caught my eye. It was something like "everything you want is on the other side, just take the jump..."

Okay. So back to the matter. This sentence just caught me. After reading it, i was thinking... Really? Is it so? Why is it everything you 'want' always on the other side? It have always been like that ain’t it. The list just keeps getting bigger and bigger even if you manage to get the things on the other side and strike it off the list. It’s just like that. That’s how we humans are. But do we have to be like that? The never ending meaningless chase. Everything you want is on the other side meanwhile everything you need is just here. Just here in the present.
We are only capable of living in the present. So, if we spend our time thinking about the future, worrying about the future, will we ever even live!
There’s no living in that state of mind. In order to live, in order to experience we have to be present. We have to be mindful of the current feelings and emotions and everything we are experiencing now. We only have now. What’s gone is gone. No need to think about it. What’s about to come, well no one have the faintest fucking idea what’s about to happen. Just look at this corona situation. Who would’ve thought. So that’s settled.
All we can do is just make the present beautiful. Without worries, without overthinking, by being grateful. This moment. This is what we have. This only. One moment at a time. Experience by experience, moment by moment... We can create a beautiful story. It’s all in our hands and actions. Be mindful. Be present.
