-When I achieve this or that, THEN I'll be happy. I look forward to [insert plans] because it's gonna be fantastic! I catch myself doing it every day! This year, I've been looking forward to prom, then the 17th of may, and now it's summer and US exchange.
Always must we look ahead and have this carrot hanging in front of us like a herded donkey - will we really not move ahead without knowing that the future will be somewhat better than the presence? Why are we so rarely happy with what we've got now? Why must we always achieve more or be someplace else to find happiness? I want as much as possible to live for each day, karpe diem, live for the moments in between scheduled plans. What if I get run over by a truck tomorrow (hypothetically, ofc) then what difference will bloody summer matter to me? I'll never experience it, but yesterday, that I experienced. And if I made the best out of it, then isn't that in the end better than living for the moments to come? And as I've said about planning.., planning leads to over analyzing, and sky high expectations. Aren't those expectations often hard to fill?
Everything isn't about being perfect. That would drive any mind insane. What I'm trying to say (probably not succeeding) is, live in the presence, not for what is to come later. Agree?
Okay, that's enough from me ... xp

ReplyDeleteLykke er å elske livet man har og glede seg til fortsettelsen
-kloke ord jeg leste Elle x)
det finnes vel en grense mellom for mye planlegging og absolutt ingenting:) er i alle fall kanskje litt enklere for de rundt hvis man planlegger en anelse;P
ReplyDeletemen, lev hver dag som om det var din, og egentlig de rundt deg og, sin siste, så slipper du å angre på ting du har ugjort!
