Living in the moment, part 2


I feel the need to clarify my earlier point about living in the moment. I wrote about enjoying life and doing what feels good. However, living in the moment does not equal instant gratification only.

Sure, enjoying the small things that life has to offer is important.  But living in the moment, truly living and being happy, means having goals in your life that are so important to you that you are willing to sacrifice some of your right-now happiness for the more permanent type. And if you have your priorities right, the work you put into your future happiness is most likely going to make you feel good right now. 

So my earlier posting was not about slacking offmy purpose was to point out the importance of doing things that you truly value. Sometimes these things don’t come easy and require some work, but we all know it is worth it in the end.
