It’s been a long time since I was tired of blowing dandelions, ordering my birthday candles and looking for four-leaf clovers. Now I look for magic in my fingers and luck in my heart. Because in the end, we’re the short-lived thing, not the stars. The best time to be happy is always now.
It is possible that many of us identify with these lines, however, when was the last time you dared to put your watch or mobile phone aside to live intensely “here and now”?Does present also mean “gift” and that good gifts are appreciated, enchanted and especially appreciated.
- One person that we must learn every day are children.
- In each of their games the magic work.
- The most innate passion.
- Move from one stimulus to another taking advantage of this gift.
- Where endless interesting things happen and can be learned until gradually the adult voice seems to present them with this disease called PRESSA and an enemy called TIME.
We are used to measuring time based on quantity, not quality, children can only be children and play up to 6 to 7 years old, while adults can only postpone their happiness for Friday or summer vacation, that is not correct. We suggest you think about that.
The ephemeral things have always been beautiful, a winter flower, dew at dawn, the rainbow after the storm?But we forget that we are also ephemeral and wonderfully beautiful, and that time is not something that we are precisely guaranteed, time is a gift and it is in our hands to know how to enjoy it.
However, it is not something that we do exactly well, we no longer resemble those societies that looked at the stars and learned their cycles, we live in a multitasking society, where we lack space for reflection or imagination. Time now, far from being a gift, escapes into our hands. It’s like star dust lost in orbit between planets.
We ask our children to leave their toys, prepare to go to language classes, then music and then ballet. In the meantime, we’re preparing tomorrow’s agenda and looking at the news, because there’s always something to do that we need to know. .
We are this society that looks only at the stars to ask for vows: to cry out for lost happiness, because multitasking and demand do not result in efficiency, the brain does not work that way. Overload makes you ineffective and desperately unhappy.
We are ephemeral creatures, that is sure, our share of life is limited, so we must learn something on this wonderful journey: to shine, because stopping the stopwatch and living intensely is possible, and in fact, you don’t even have to look. for great adventures. The important thing is to dress with our best attitude, although what we will do most of the day is routine. It’s about knowing how to enjoy.
David M. Levy, scientist and professor at the University of Washington, explains that to learn to be more present it would be necessary to connect from time to time with silence, our attention is limited and yet we fill our minds with various stimuli and persistent noises.
We need our own mental ecosystem to relax, a forest, a husband, a peace and a silence in the center of the mind where we have our watch to appreciate the time as it is: a gift, a dimension in which we imbue our five senses, how do children do when we allow it?Oh, really.
Because life satisfaction is not achieved by the tasks performed or by the amount of experiences lived, but by the intensity with which the person was able to appreciate each act, each detail, each aspect of their personal history. the light lies, the one that would undoubtedly rival the brightest star in the sky.
