“It is not uncommon for people to spend their whole life waiting to start living.”
— Eckhart Tolle
Simplified Meaning:
Many people spend their entire lives preparing for the future without really enjoying the present. Just like a student who keeps studying hard for years, thinking that happiness will only come after they land a job, these individuals always think real living is something that will happen later. This way of thinking can cause them to miss out on the joy and experiences available right now. For example, someone might keep postponing travel or hobbies until they retire, but by then, they might not have the health or energy to enjoy those activities fully. Instead of waiting for a "perfect" time to be happy, it's important to find joy and meaning in your daily life. It can be as simple as spending time with loved ones, enjoying a hobby, or appreciating small moments every day.
