Living In The Present

It saves you a whole bunch of time when you learn to depend on yourself for happiness. Instead of focusing on others’ opinions and judgments, you are feeling joy and living your best life possible. You don’t have control over other people and external situations, but you do have control over your attitude and how you feel.

While others are busy judging or soaking in their negativity, you are out there following your passion or hobby or doing whatever makes you happy. Life is about being happy and living in the present.

Once, I was still wound up from a stressful day, when I stepped out of my car in the evening and gazed at the sky. I realized I was missing a beautiful sunset. I took a deep breath, stepped back from my thoughts, and enjoyed the sunset.
