Our Moments MAKE Our Lives


Life is about moments. Some moments are wonderful, some are horrible, and the rest of our moments fall somewhere in between.   It is so easy to forget that each Moment we have is precious.  Even the bad moments in our lives are precious, not just because we are alive, Because we Are LIVING.

Living means so much more than just our physical existence.  Countless organisms exist on our planet, they live, grow, and die like we do.   But these organisms don’t derive their identity based on how they internalize and experience the moments which make up their life. 

We evolved into beings that are aware of our own individualized needs and desires.  When we stopped “Simply Surviving” we began to question more, seek more, learn more, and enjoy more.  Once we moved past Survival of The Fittest the human race took off.  We are not just alive, we are not simply existing or surviving. 

We are compelled to make and be something special. We strive to cultivate as many feel good “moments” as possible. We try to discard and forget moments which are sad, painful, and negative.  Only through experiencing the “so called” bad moments are we able to recognize, appreciate, and TRULY ENJOY the good moments.

I have heard many times that living “in the moment” is exciting, scary, brave, and even reckless. On the other hand living solely in the past, or always living for your future isn’t healthy either.  The best way to be LIVING, REALLY LIVING, is to treasure and respect ALL the Moments we have. The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly moments shape who and what we are. 

Each and every moment From Birth to Death will be different, and if we’re smart then we will take what we have learned from our past moments in order to get the most LIVING out of our present moments. 

Living in the moment shouldn’t only be about who and what we are today. Living in The Moment should encompass our past, present, and future. Living is made up of Our Moments, Our Moments are snippets of time that are important simply because Our Moments Are Us.

To The Universe
