The Bright Side

Today is a possibility.
A rare opportunity that not many have.

And we are the ones meant to grasp it, as if our lives depend on it. But we don't.

We choose to live in a time that is no longer present, and in one that has yet to happen.

When everything around us is open for us to see, we choose not to be in this moment. We dwell on what has happened, or we plan for the future. We hope to be happy one day, once we achieve something, a goal, success, or a name for ourselves. We devote ourselves to the person who lives in the future, building everything for someone who has yet to become real.

But we neglect ourselves today, now, in this very moment.

Be happy now. Right this second. For tomorrow never comes. The only reality is now.

The one who is alive is you, now.
Yourself.

Look at yourself once again.
With love this time.

What if I told you that you have only two weeks left to live?

How would that change you?

You would cast all your worries aside and start living in the present because you know you're going to die in two weeks, and those two weeks are all you have. You would try to live life to the fullest.

So, when you know you're going to die, when you know death will one day embrace you, only then do you truly understand the value of life.

But I don't have to tell you when you're going to die. Because all of us already know that we will, one day.

When you know your end, when you know what is written in the future, when you know that death is inevitable, why fear? Why worry?

Why do we take life so seriously and drown in our own world of pain?

When all we can do is live to the fullest, right here, right now.

With each passing moment, we slowly move closer to death. Once you embrace this reality, you begin to live with gratitude and joy. You see everyone with love. You smile, because it's free.

You'll be free of all the worries, of all the little things that make you angry or upset.

You will fly.

You will live.
