Most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most people treat the present moment as if it were an obstacle that they need to overcome. Since the present moment is life itself, it is an insane way to live.
Your entire life only happens in this moment. The present moment is life itself. Yet, people live as if the opposite were true and treat the present moment as a stepping stone to the next moment - a means to an end.
People don't realize that now is all there ever is; there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind.
The present moment, if you think about it, is the only time there is. No matter what time it is, it is always now.
There's nothing I miss about anything in the whole wide world. The idea of missing something means you're not living in the moment. Every moment is good for something.
Life is about now - some things are just too important to miss.
If you can get your life down to one minute at a time, you don't miss anything. You have total abundance of information and material.
I think a lot of times we can get distracted and not be in the moment with people and be missing all the life happening in the moment.
I think it's very important to live in the present. One of the great things that improvising teaches you is the magic of the moment that you're in because, when you improvise, you're in right now. You're not in yesterday or tomorrow - you're right in the moment.
Our present moment is a mystery that we are part of. Here and now is where all the wonder of life lies hidden. And make no mistake about it, to strive to live completely in the present is to strive for what already is the case.
