Do Not Dwell in the Past

edje (69) 7 years ago

This statement is maybe one of the most important to follow in our life. It is not easy to live in the moment, but throughout the years, I managed more and more to accept the past, learn from it when needed, and look at the future as something that will come and deal with the stuff when we get there. Even for big things. Make a decision, and thats it, deal with it when the time comes. That resulted for me to be able to enjoy today, the moment, better, much better! And in the end, it is the here and now that is relevant. Great message!

"enjoy yourself its later than you think the years go by in a blink"

By age 65, U.S. males in average health have a 40% chance of living to age 85 and females have a 53% chance of living to age 85. If the couple is married, there's a 72% chance that at least one of them will live until age 85. But if these same folks are “healthier” (25% healthier than the average person), then their chances of living to age 85 bump up to 50% for the male, 62% for the female and 81% for at least one of them. This is based on a static table from 2007 Social Security mortality data (see below), Levering says, noting that with each year there are improvements in mortality.

Hi dinisanda, thanks for your nice comments. Buddha has many wise quotes and I respect him very much. I do not believe in any religion, because my parents are non religious and I grew up that way. I believe every human has the right to believe in what they want and to choose their own path:)

hey :)
I agree with your comment that human has the right to believe in what they want and to choose their own path.. But I wonder then you don't believe that there is a GOD and only GOD!!
I understand your life without religion because of your paresnts, but didn't you try to read the books of religions? .. Especilly Quraan, did you just try to read it.. I wonder also, if there is no GOD, then we are similar to animals, but this is not true, because we have a brain exceed animals brain, the human is a judjment sending form a GOD to earth to apply fair in everything.. Although there is some humans are evils in their doings ..
Forgive me but all those ideas came to my mind as soon as I read your comment and may I write to you again soon :)

I just followed you and upvoted your post.
Kindly, have a look into my blog, you may like any of my posts :)
