Time is an illusion

The present is all that exists

The future — what is it but a collection of present moments yet to be lived? And the past? It’s simply the echo of moments already experienced.

We often worry so much about the future that we forget to live in the now. That worry traps us. It prevents us from taking action and disconnects us from the present. Over time, these moments of anxiety pile up, shaping a future we fear rather than desire.

And here’s another thought: what if the future we dream of never comes? What if all we have is this moment? Yunno, here today, gone tomorrow?

In that case, wouldn’t you want to laugh louder, love deeper, and work harder at what you care about most?

So, take a deep breath. Be here, in the now. The past is gone, and the future is unwritten. What you do today is what truly matters.
