"السعادة الحقيقية هي الاستمتاع بالحاضر دون الاعتماد القلق على المستقبل"
— Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Simplified Meaning:
It means that real happiness comes from appreciating and enjoying what you have in the moment, rather than constantly worrying about what might come next. Imagine you're at a birthday party. If you spend the whole time thinking about whether your next birthday will be fun, you might miss out on enjoying the one that's happening right now. Similarly, if someone is always stressed about their future job or money, they might not see the good things happening around them today, like spending time with friends or family. The idea is that by focusing on and loving what's currently going on in your life, you'll feel more at peace and content. You won't be weighed down by fears or hopes about what hasn't happened yet. By being mindful and present, you can lead a happier life.
