Everything we think and do is a cause that leads to some consequences. If the choices that come to our minds are full of greed, jealousy, fear, deception, running away from troubles, they do not bring happiness; on the contrary – only inner pain and remorse.
Sometimes we don’t want to see it, sometimes we blame others, sometimes we feel like victims of fate, sometimes it’s just easier to exist than take responsibility for our own happiness.
If you don’t know where to start, simply learn how to be happy breathing, listening to music, eating, walking down the street, learning to smile when you wake up, and thanking for everything you have without complaining or feeling angry.
Try to feel happy right now, without waiting for better times, when you have much more, when everyone will love you more and when things will get better.
This moment is so much more important than the thousands of moments to come because it is now, even if you are simply lazy in bed. Now you are alive – appreciate it and make the most of it. And enjoy, be sure to enjoy it…

Absolutely, cherish each moment.
Agree with you, we should value each moment of life…
Because we never know how long we will be here.
We should appreciate each positive moment.
It is only on us to make it positive. We can appreciate even for bad moments because each of them can become a great lesson for us.
We only have the now, the past is gone the future is unsure , so enjoy and make the best of each minute.
Absolutely right. There is no past and future, one is gone, the other did not come still. We have only now.
hold tight to the moments we cherish.
And the older we become the more we cherish each moment.
that is very true, sometimes i know from personal experience we hold on too tightly.
each moment comes but once
Yes, and those moments are so short, then disappear to nowhere.
indeed. don’t hold your breath waiting for them to come around again
Every day there can be a special moment to treasure. I don’t have too many now because i don’t get out as much. I do have moments on my PC as I do my writing though.
Then cherish those moments of writing.
Even in workplace, employees satisfaction is measured by how they are appreciated in their work.
Of course, we love doing work for which we are appreciated.
You’re so right. We should appreciate every moment. People who wait for the future to be happy find the future comes upon them sooner than they expect but they’re still unhappy of unfulfilled.
If they look for the future to be happy, it means now they are unhappy.
I certainly agree with the sentiment of everything that you said there.
Sure, we should try to be in the present moment, enough to enjoy it fully, happily, and to get the most out of it too.
On the other hand, over-appreciating the moment, and only totally living in it, has a sort of a selfish flavour to it, to me anyway, as we should try to make sure too that the moment connects us to the greater picture of God’s infinite moment, existing outside of our really still “timed” (but seemingly untimed) moment, otherwise, it remains a selfish pursuit of nothing, nothing but an illusory glance at the reflection on the pond of God, rather than our actually bathing in it.
The moment is not really a moment to God, but a reflective glance into a whirlpool spinning.
The moment stops the whirlpooling effect, but never really connects to it, unless you credit that that moment is also a part of something far greater than just itself too.
I do not want to touch religion here. I stay away from any religion in my writings, it is a very sensitive theme and people have own worldviews that can be very different.
Yes, that’s very true, I guess.
It takes day-to-day effort to break the habit of procrastination.
Everything what we do requires our efforts.
It’s not easy trying to change the way one thinks. It takes time to learn how to see the good in everything snug learn to be grateful for even the smallest things.
I appreciate each moment after I lost a couple of very dear persons.
I fully understand that. I have been there myself.
