Time Is A Thief! – How to Live In The Moment

It Is Possible To Live In The Moment

I don’t remember exactly when my waiting for time to pass started. But at one point, I remember that well, it became so intense and noticeable, that it started to disrupt my daily life. I kept waiting for something to pass, for me to live, so truly. Today when I think about it, I look forward to it happening. Because if it weren’t so, I would still be waiting for this and what is to come, to pass.

Everything would pass me by, because I wouldn’t live in the moments, one by one, but I would constantly wait for those to come, mistakenly thinking that they would be of better quality, better, more beautiful, dearer. I would still think about how I would enjoy them more, feel better. Luckily, I am much more aware of the moments I am living today and the fact is that this presence and joy of life has started to bring me even more beautiful moments that I enjoy.

How simple life is in its essence, you sometimes find out when you least expect it and in amazing ways. I would describe it this way. You wait for something to pass and steal your life’s pleasure. You don’t wait for it to pass and you are aware of the moment, you start to enjoy yourself more and more, you become more grateful and satisfied. And then, you suddenly feel that many circumstances have changed as well. In addition, all of a sudden, as if life is no longer the same, you have less and less reason to wait for it to pass, and more and more you want to stop it. Luckily you can’t do either. Happiness!

How To Be Present In The Moment?

Is time a thief or are we so naive that we always stumble on the same things? How can we be deceived by something that we have introduced to count down our stay on this planet… It seems to me that it’s difficult for us to learn that the moment is now, and not before and after. We are so wrong about the time, that in the end, we have to put all the blame on it. Because how to admit that we are responsible and that we don’t know how to live that much. And we don’t know. It’s a fact.

Or is that force that deceives us so strong that we cannot resist it so easily. And then our time is a thief, a heartless bastard who passes relentlessly, who doesn’t want to stop when we need it most or to rush if it’s vital to us. He won’t rewind and return the film for us, when we didn’t understand something the best, didn’t arrive on time, didn’t do…

How to be present at the moment? If it can’t be otherwise, then we remind ourselves every day that we have one day less of life left. We just need to become aware that every new day that dawns is our little wealth and no matter how difficult the circumstances, let us make them easier for ourselves, not ceasing to enjoy the little things, even during those difficult days. There are so many moments to remember in them that it’s a real pity and unfair to them, to us, and to those who share them with us, to pretend that they don’t exist and that we want them pass.

We Are Constantly Waiting For Something In Our Life To Pass

And we, we mostly wait for this to pass, then for that to pass, not thinking about how short life is to wait for the ends.

You wait to finish school, to grow up, you wait to get a job, you wait for the day to pass, you wait for you to finish this, and then that appears…. then you wait for the baby to stop waking you up at night, to stop sucking. And then, you wait for him to walk, then to enroll in school, then you wait for him to finish it, then to get a good job, to become a man. And so, life passes, and we are still waiting, to retire, to take care of our grandchildren, to finally go on a long and carefully planned trip… The whole life passes us by while we wait.

I know some people I loved immensely and I cry when I remember how long they waited for everything to pass without living at all. They were constantly in a spasm of waiting… Just this once, then one more thing…

We Live In The Moment, Instead Of Waiting For The End

As if we are unaware that by waiting for this and that to pass, we are punishing ourselves and making it impossible for us to enjoy the only thing we have in this world, and that is this moment. And it will never return. It’s as if we have loaded the burden of the bad on the back of life because we are waiting for the bad to pass… and then we are somehow seduced and tired, we put in the same basket what does not belong there, all the good that touched us.

What is noticeable to most people is something I have only recently begun to pay attention to. People are waiting for the end of something every day. The end of an hour, the end of daily obligations, the end of working hours, the end of the day, month, year… I guess in these parts one sees a new beginning, the beginning of something new, fresh, better, something better than the past, something that will surpass it.

And everything is perfectly fine with that, at least at first glance, because you have the feeling that it’s pushing you forward.

But if you take a closer look, you realize that it’s just waiting for the end, a waste of time. When we just look at how hard times were behind us, it turns out we should wait for half our lives to pass. What’s the point then? Will we ever realize that even miracles take time, but miracles are not loved by those who do not believe in the magic of life…

Last Thoughts

What we must never forget, even if we are convinced that time is a thief… is that we should not wait for anything. Instead of waiting for time to pass, the greater desire should be for it to flow more slowly. Because every rush, as if the message is that you can hardly wait for the end of what only happens once and there is no substitute. And it will surely come to an end. It will surely pass. And then it’s over. Don’t rush the ends. Rejoice in the content. Fuck it, make everything worth both time and living…

Don’t put off the joy of life waiting for the day to dawn when you’ll be less busy and have less stress. That day might not come, and maybe it’ll come every day, only if we pay the necessary attention at all times. And one more thing, if we learn to enjoy small things, good people, positive moments… That’s all we have!
