"La vida existe solo en este momento, y en este momento es infinita y eterna. Porque el momento presente es infinitamente pequeño; antes de que podamos medirlo, se ha ido, y sin embargo, existe para siempre."
— Alan Watts
Simplified Meaning:
Right now is the only time that truly matters and it's incredibly important because it’s the only time we really have. Think about how a single moment is so quick that it seems to disappear as soon as it happens. Yet, every moment is precious and holds endless possibilities. For example, imagine you're standing at the top of a hill watching a beautiful sunset. That feeling is unique and can never be exactly repeated, but the memory and its impact can last forever. You can apply this idea to your life by focusing on what you’re doing right now instead of worrying too much about the past or the future. When you’re having dinner with your family, really enjoy that time with them and the conversations you share. Don’t get lost in regrets of yesterday or fears of tomorrow. By fully embracing each moment as it comes, you create a collection of rich, eternal experiences that make life truly meaningful.
