“Forever is composed of nows”
— Emily Dickinson
Simplified Meaning:
Life is made up of many moments happening right now. Think of your entire life like a big puzzle, and each piece of the puzzle is a 'now' or a present moment. If you just focus on living well in each of these little moments, you are actually living your whole life well. For example, if you want to be happy in the future, focus on what you can do to be happy right now, like spending time with friends or doing something you love. Instead of worrying about the past or what might happen in the future, put your energy into making the best of each present moment. By doing this, you'll look back and see that these small moments made up a beautiful, fulfilling life.
