The truth is that we all die, however not all of us truly live. Fear is powerful thing, and it gets in the way (in my own life as well) of living in the present. How much of our time is sspent worrying about the future? I don't mean you shouldn't plan, organize, and develop strategies, but this is way different than worrying about that which we cannot control. How much time do we spend reliving, or regretting things in our past, or still carrying anger or frustration over that which has past? Earlier in my life I would have to say too much time. It is really hard to live in the moment. But the moment is in reality the only thing that we actually have... the past is gone, the future is promised to no one. While it did take cancer to bring my perspective and thought processes around, this paradigm shift in how I TRY to live, has made me happier, even in times of adversity, more productive in my daily endeavors, and closer to the people I care about because I am really interested, and paying attention to them...right now. This is probably to some, developing too much of the ring of some kind of 'new age
