burnt out……
September 2, 2009 by wmwatchn
a lot of us would at times find themselves saying ” i am tired……
tired of putting a strong front all the time.
those vulnerable moments are really unbearable.
i guess i’ve lost touch.
lost touch with the feeling of warmth…”
“I’ve been putting on a brave front for too long……. too long……”
undoubtedly, one embraces the concept of living in the “now.” it is not good to let your eyes dwell longingly on past events, and it is equally wrong to always look forward as if better days are always ahead of you.
those who can live their lives now, embracing today with enthusiasm … those are the folks who’ve mastered the art of living.
we all know without a doubt that we are right about this. failing to embrace the present is a mistake. no problem can be solved, no joy can be fully embraced, unless it is addressed in the present.
this does not mean it’s wrong to have fond memories.
this does not mean it’s wrong to look forward with expectation and hope .
but it does mean that life is meant to be lived, not wished for, or remembered. past and future are secondary aspects of life; the present is primary, and always with us.
tomorrow will take care of itself if you live today as it should be lived.
and you’ll see yesterday more clearly, for what it really was.
“YESTERDAY is a cancelled check; TOMORROW is a promissory note; TODAY is the only cash you have. let us SPEND it WISELY.”
